Empirical studies by researchers have proven the existence of a positive relationship between job satisfaction and performance, as well as a positive relationship between job satisfaction and customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction reflects the efficiency of the organization and its workforce, especially for organizations that provide services directly to their customers.

The three independent variables selected include work-life balance, career development and work engagement for this empirical study. A total number of 249 KLCH Management and Professional Group Officers participated in this study. The data were analyzed using different statistical techniques such as reliability survey, descriptive of variable analysis, correlation analysis (Pearson Correlation Analysis) and regression analysis (Multiple Regression Analysis) using IBM SPSS version 25.

Among all three independent variables studied, work engagement show the highest significant relationship on job satisfaction.
