This study aimed to analyze the impact of social workers' professional identity on their job satisfaction and to examine the mediating effects of work-life balance on this relationship. To this end, a survey was conducted with 238 social workers working in the Gyeongsangbuk-do region. The collected data were analyzed through factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS 27.0. The results showed that the subfactors of professional identity—sense of mission, pride, and continuance intention—all had significant positive effects on job satisfaction, with sense of mission having the strongest. Furthermore, the subfactors of work-life balance—work-growth, work-family, and work-leisure—all showed partial mediating effects, with work-growth consistently being a key factor in explaining job satisfaction. These results suggest that work-life balance serves as a psychological resource that enhances social workers' job satisfaction and deepen the understanding of the structural relationship between professional identity and job satisfaction. This study provides theoretical and practical basic data for improving job satisfaction among social workers. Future research should reflect the moderating effects of gender and organizational characteristics.
