Increasing global competition as a result of technological developments has brought many changes from the wider economy to the business world, organizational structures, and working relations. Work life balance is crucial for maintaining equilibrium between work life and personal life. Some of the factors which determine work life balance include individual differences, working environment, structure of the organization. Personality traits also play an important role in maintaining work life balance. The present study aims to understand work life balance and personality traits among private and public-school teachers. A sample of 120 teachers (60 Private and 60 Public) was collected through simple random sampling technique. The tools used for collecting data are Work Life Balance Scale and Big Five Factor Inventory. Further analysis was done using the method of Karl Pearson Correlation, Independent t-test and One way ANOVA. The study shows that there is a significant relationship between work life balance and personality traits of private and public-school teachers. There was no significant difference in work life balance based on sector. There is a significant difference in agreeableness of the teachers as well as there is a significant difference in personal life interface with work based on marital status of the teachers. The researcher found out that there is a significant difference in work personal life enhancement based on annual income of the teachers but there was no significant difference in relation to personality characteristics.
