Existing research suggests that work-life balance, organisational culture, and psychological well-being influence job satisfaction; however, evidence from the private sector in Sarawak, Malaysia, remains limited. This study investigates the relationships among these factors among private-sector employees in Sarawak. Job satisfaction is a key aspect of human resource management, as it directly affects productivity, employee retention, and organisational commitment. The study involved 268 respondents from three private manufacturing organisations and used structured questionnaires to gather data. Descriptive and correlational approaches were used to assess the degree of correlation between the variables. The results show that job satisfaction is significantly positively correlated with all three independent factors. The most significant factors were organisational culture, work-life balance, and psychological well-being. These results emphasise the importance of promoting psychological well-being, work-life balance, and a supportive organisational culture to increase job satisfaction. This study provides valuable insights and recommendations for policy and future research to build a more satisfied workforce in the private sector.
