AB The appraisal of job satisfaction and life satisfaction has been the focus of attention ofwork-family research. Despite being frequently regarded as a non-work variable, life satisfaction plays an important role in organizational behaviour and human resource management. Previous research has ascertained that workers’ life satisfaction is inherently a multidimensional concept. We extend this line of work by analysing the main factors that mighthave an infuence on the trade-ofs among four diferent aspects of workers’ life satisfaction(satisfaction with education, present job, family life, and social life) in reaching compromises between them. A methodological approach that combines econometric and multiobjective interval programming techniques has been used. This methodological frameworkallows evaluating the compromises of specifc aspects of workers’ personal and workingconditions in diferent scenarios given as intervals. Our fndings suggest that female workers must generally spend more time at their jobs than men to reach the highest balancedlevels of satisfaction across all aspects under evaluation. Additionally, one child is suffcient to reach the highest levels of life satisfaction (among all factors considered in itsassessment) for both men and women. One possible policy implication of these results maybe that existing work-family arrangements are not sufcient in the current context of fallingbirth rates all over Europe.
