This study examined the relationships among work and nonwork satisfaction, interdomain conflict, and life satisfaction in a sample of research university faculty in the first and third year of their academic appointments. Findings indicated that balance and conflict variables explained a unique portion of the variance in life satisfaction beyond that explained by job satisfaction and nonwork satisfaction. In addition, the influence of job satisfaction on life satisfaction decreased over time, while that of nonwork satisfaction increased.
