Abstract: Abstract In this study, we examine the role of personality traits in ensuring work-life balance and life satisfaction. For this purpose, 434 people working in service sector in Kocaeli/Turkey are interviewed through face-to-face. Five-Factor Personality scale is used to measure personality traits, and scales that have international validity and reliability are used to measure work-life balance and life satisfaction. Hayes Process analysis is used to determine whether personality traits have a role in ensuring work-life balance and life satisfaction. According to the results of the analysis, it has been determined that personality has a role in ensuring work-life balance and life satisfaction. When detailed analysis of the sub-dimensions of personality is conducted, it is seen that extroversion, conscientiousness, openness to experience, and emotional balance have a role in terms of work-life balance and life satisfaction, but no relationship is found in the dimension of agreeableness.
