Work-life balance is an integral part of a healthy, happy, and satisfied life (Sirgy & Lee, 2018). The current paper is an empirical test of a variety of factors that can impact an individual's level of work-life balance, including workaholism, life stage (defined as age, job tenure, and number of children), and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). I hypothesized that workaholism and FOMO would both influence the relationship between life stage and work-life balance. To examine the hypotheses, 239 participants were surveyed about their level of work-life balance, workaholism, and FOMO, as well as demographic information regarding their life stage. Results showed that FOMO and workaholism were positively related, and a moderating effect of workaholism on the relationship between life stage and work-life balance was partially supported. Implications of these results are discussed.
