This study aims to examine the relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction among teachers. A quantitative correlational approach was used. The subjects consisted of 47 teachers from SMPN 1 Ngronggot, Nganjuk, selected using the total sampling technique. The instruments used were the Work-Life Balance Scale by Fisher et al. (2009) and the Job Satisfaction Scale by Lester (1987). Data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation. The results showed a significant positive relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction (r = 0.407; p = 0.005).
