This study examines the level of work–life balance for Nonprofit organization(NPO) workers and their turnover intentions, to identify how work–life balance affects workers’ turnover intention. From October 10 to November 10, 2013, a survey was conducted among workers at NPOs located in Busan, South Korea, through interviews, emails, and mail, and 286 responses were used for this analysis. The results showed that the NPO workers’ level of work–life balance was 3.12 for work–family life, 3.07 for work–leisure life, and 3.02 for work–personal life on a five-point scale; the median value was 3.0. Turnover intention was 2.71, which was slightly lower than the median value of 3.0, again on a five-point scale, but it was relatively higher for younger workers, single workers, workers who indicated a lower level of work–personal life balance, and workers whose education included two-years or less of college. These findings suggest that it is important to determine factors that lower turnover intention among these workers and develop programs and support that enhances work–life balance, particularly work–personal life balance.
