One of the most demanding occupations is healthcare, where employees frequently deal with a lot of work, little free time, and even conflicting role expectations, which can lead to a poor work-life balance (WLB). The purpose of this study is to examine how work-life balance (WLB) experiences and job satisfaction affect healthcare workers at hospitals in the private sector. The study used a self-administered questionnaire survey using a five-point Likert scale, adhering to the analytical research design. Responses were gathered from 412 nurses in various roles at hospitals in the private sector. Using structural equation modeling, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the gathered data. Smart PLS 4 was used for data validation and path coefficient analysis at a significance level of 5%.Work–personal life enhancement (WPLE), work interference with personal life (WIPL), and personal life interference with work (PLIW) were the three aspects used to analyze WLB. The study found a strong correlation between job happiness and work-personal life improvement and personal life interference with work. Additionally, the results showed a strong positive correlation between job satisfaction and WLB interferences. According to this study, TI should be discouraged by focusing on WLB and work satisfaction. Both managers and legislators can utilize this study to enhance the situation and implement appropriate actions. Additionally, this investigation has theoretical ramifications grounded in boundary theory.
