description The purpose of this study is to unearth and bridge a population gap, which is the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between dynamics of job satisfaction, i.e., work-life balance, leadership and employee retention. This is quantitative study with hypothesis testing through correlational investigation in a non-contrive setting. Conducted with minimum researchers’ interference, the time horizon of this study is cross-sectional with individual unit of analysis, i.e. managerial employees and non-managerial employees in XYZ diversified company using 77 samples selected based on simple random sampling. Data was gathered through a self-directed questionnaire. In order to bridge the identified population gap, a set of hypotheses was developed based on theoretical and empirical justifications. The findings suggest that there is a mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between work-life balance and retention. As employee retention is crucial for any organization’s success, organizations should give more emphasis on the constructs such as work-life balance and job satisfaction in order to enhance retention of employees.
