Using the 4th and 5th Korean Working Conditions Surveys (KWCS), we investigated the effects of health-related factors, work-related factors, personal characteristics and workplace characteristics on work-life balance (WLB) of the employed persons in Korea. We estimated ordered logit models of WLB separately for the full sample, the subsample of the salaried workers, and the subsample of the self-employed persons and business owners. We conducted the OMD-estimation-based test for homogeneity of WLB models between the two subsamples, rejecting the homogeneity. From the subsample estimation results, we found that better physical and mental health affects WLB positively while longer working hours and frequent overtime affect WLB negatively. Surprisingly, all types of flexibility-enhancing arrangements of work for the salaried workers turn out to be statistically insignificant in the 5th KWCS subsample of the salaried workers. Among the salaried workers, WLB of permanent workers is higher than that of both daily workers and temporary workers. Among the self-employed persons and business owners, WLB of the subsample without employees is lower than that of the subsample with employees.
