Research background and purpose This systematic review examines the relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction in organisation, drawing on empirical studies published between 2000 and 2024. Design/methodology/approach By using the PRISMA flow diagram, the documents are rigorously documented the technique for locating, screening, and choosing entries from the Scopus database. Initially, 132 records were discovered, with 124 maintained after removing those which were published prior to 2000. Further screening removed 5 records owing to language constraints, leaving 119 eligible studies. This bibliometric study showed 110 unique publications which are produced by 159 scholars from 56 countries, demonstrating the global interest in this topic. VOS viewer software helped in creating co-occurrence maps by analysing keywords, titles, and abstracts to detect research trends and collaborations. Findings This bibliometric study showed 110 unique publications which are produced by 159 scholars from 56 countries, demonstrating the global interest in this topic. VOS viewer software helped in creating co-soccurrence maps by analysing keywords, titles, and abstracts to detect research trends and collaborations. The Key findings emphasise on the most referenced publications and key authors, such as Butterworth, P., who had a significant impact on the discussion of work-life balance and job satisfaction. Value added and limitations This study reveals a strong and rising body of literature that showcases different research outputs and multidisciplinary contributions across several periodicals. Overall, the systematic analysis provides a complete picture of the changing academic landscape regarding work-life balance and its consequences for job satisfaction in organisations.
