Abstract: This study examines differences in personal life satisfaction among expatriates living in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries , focusing on gender and family structure across five key dimensions: General Life, Familial Life, Family Time, Children's Education, and Aged Parent Caretaking. Using survey data from 200 expatriates in the GCC, we employed independent t-tests, ANOVA, and regression analysis. Results revealed significant gender disparities: women reported higher general (M=3.55 vs. M=3.22, p<.001) and familial life satisfaction (M=2.60 vs. M=1.41, p<.001), while men showed greater satisfaction with family time (M=3.19 vs. M=2.87, p=.0009). Married women living alone reported the highest satisfaction (M=4.00), whereas married men living alone scored lowest (M=3.10). Regression analysis identified familial life (β=.32) and personal life satisfaction (β=.39) as the strongest predictors of overall well-being (R²=.54). These findings underscore the need for tailored expatriate support programs that account for gender and family structure differences.
Keywords: expatriate satisfaction, gender differences, family structure, work-life balance, cross-cultural adjustment
