Abstract
This research explores the associations between perceived social support, work stress, work-life balance, and job satisfaction among working adults in Malaysia, addressing a local research gap in the application of established occupational and organisational psychology theories in non-Western contexts. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed, utilising purposive and snowball sampling to recruit 452 participants from diverse occupational backgrounds. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between perceived social support and job satisfaction, a significant negative correlation between work stress and job satisfaction, and a significant positive correlation between work-life balance and job satisfaction.
