The aim of this study is to examine the mediating effect of organizational commitment on the relationship between work-life balance and intention to leave. The study population consists of (800) working women in King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH). To collect the primary data a questionnaire survey was distributed to (200) working women, from them (144) questionnaires were returned. The study used linear regression and path analyses to test hypotheses. The study findings revealed that; there is a significant relationship between work-life balance and intention to leave, there is a significant relationship between work-life balance and (affective, continuance and normative) commitment, but not with continuous commitment, there is a significant relationship between (affective, continuance and normative) commitment and intention to leave. Finally, affective commitment fully mediates the relationship between work-life balance and intention to leave, while normative commitment partially mediates the relation. In light of these findings, the study recommends; adoption of the work-life balance program in Jordanian hospitals to improve the commitment of working women, and encourages Jordanian organizations to enhance the participation of employee in decision making and locus of control to improve organizational commitment.

The issue of happiness in organisation has been debated among academicians, practitioners, and policy makers nowadays. This is because it provides an index of how well things are going     within the organisational context. The ability for an organisation to track front-line employee’s happiness over time is a very useful in order to achieve organisation’s successful policies and practices. Some previous studies conducted to measure the relationship contribute of work-life balance effects in quality in life, life satisfaction and wellbeing. Also, the impact of decreased income on           happiness has hardly been studied except  through the drop in income due to unemployment. Therefore, this paper attempts to show the relationship of work-life balance and life satisfaction with the mediating role of happiness. The main problem is to relate the situation to the Malaysian Financial Sector work-life balance with sense of happiness by World Happiness Report to get the outcomes of life satisfaction. Perhaps for these reasons, towards the end of this paper, happiness is proposed to be measured in mediating concept by linking the relationship of work-life balance and life satisfaction. Keywords: work-life balance, happiness, life satisfaction
