Abstract: This research brief explores the interplay between job satisfaction and life satisfaction for working individuals in developing economies. It analyzes relevant academic studies to understand how work-life balance mediates these relationships and how social fulfillment moderates them. Drawing on over 15 years of global consulting experience, insights from the practitioner perspective are also provided. The brief finds that achieving work-life balance through initiatives like flexible schedules and subsidized childcare is critical for well-being. It also emphasizes the importance of social support networks within and beyond the workplace. Strategic recommendations are offered for organizations seeking to foster work-life fulfillment through low-cost programs and a culture prioritizing renewal. The brief concludes that even small steps towards better balance can significantly impact productivity and retention.
