    Abstract
    This study investigated work-life balance initiatives and job satisfaction among administrative staff. Bishop Stuart University was used as a case study. Work-life balance initiatives were conceived as the independent variable and job satisfaction as the dependent variable. The purpose of the study was to establish the effect of work-life balance initiatives and job satisfaction among administrative staff in private universities in Uganda. The objectives of the study were to establish the effect of health promotion on job satisfaction, to determine the effect of paid time off on Job satisfaction and to investigate the effect of flexible work arrangements on job satisfaction among administrative Staff of Bishop Stuart University. The study took a case study research design and both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis were used. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaire and interview guide. Validity and reliability of research instruments were tested. Both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques of analyses were used. The study revealed a moderate positive correlation between health promotion and job satisfaction as well as a moderate correlation between paid time off and job satisfaction among administrative staff. The study also revealed a weak correlation between flexible work arrangements and job satisfaction among administrative staff. The study concluded that Health promotion and paid time off tend to be associated more with job satisfaction than the flexible work arrangements. The study recommends that institutions should invest heavily in health promotion activities, which can be utilized by employees, as this will enhance the physical fitness of employees that is important for employee job satisfaction. The researcher recommends that institutions should keep on encouraging and implementing paid time off initiatives as this helps workers to have enough time away from work to attend to personal issues. The researcher further recommends that institutions should not emphasize flexible work arrangements among administrative staff because they contribute less towards employee job satisfaction
