Survey reveals job satisfaction improves quality of life and work-life balance among social workers, indicating vital insights for human resource management.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and quality of life, as well as work-life balance, among social workers in the Gyeongsangbuk-do region. An online survey was conducted from June 23 to June 29, 2025, collecting responses from 238 individuals. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 27.0 statistical program. Frequency analysis was performed to assess demographic characteristics, factor analysis was conducted to evaluate validity, and Cronbach's α was calculated to ensure reliability. Correlation analysis was used to identify correlations, and multiple regression analysis was used to examine the impact of job satisfaction on quality of life and work-life balance. The results revealed a high positive correlation between the first three variables. Second, the structural analysis results confirmed that job satisfaction has a significant positive effect not only on the sub-factors of quality of life (satisfaction, health, and competence) but also on the sub-factors of work-life balance (work-growth, work-family, and work-leisure). Therefore, by empirically analyzing the impact of job satisfaction on quality of life and work-life balance, basic data can be provided for future policy design and institutional improvements to enhance sustainable human resource management and organizational satisfaction in social welfare organizations.
