Work centrality was examined as a possible moderator of the job satisfaction and life satisfaction relationship. Participants included in the study were MTurk workers who were employed in at least one full-time job and lived in the United States of America. Data were collected using self-report items in an online survey and 93 participants were included in the study. In support of earlier research, life satisfaction and job satisfaction did have a significant positive correlation, r(91) = .426, p < .001. Work centrality also had significant, positive correlations with both job satisfaction, r(91) = .315, p = .002, and life satisfaction, r(91) = .252, p = .015. The results of the moderated regression analysis indicated that work centrality did not significantly moderate the relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction, ¿R2 = .002, F(1,89) = .232, p = .631. These results indicate that work centrality may have important implications for both job and life satisfaction, and may be helpful to career counselors when advising individuals about career and work choices. Also included are recommendations for future researchers wanting to examine work centrality as a moderator of the life satisfaction-job satisfaction relationship.
