Abstract: Introduction: Life satisfaction (LS) and the quality of aging at work (QAW) influence occupational well-being, especially in age-diverse environments. The applied design provides insight into key factors that affect occupational well-being in adults, providing relevant knowledge for nursing practice. Objective: The objective is to analyze the explanatory percentage of the QAW on LS in working adults. Materials and Methods: An exploratory correlational design was used. The sample size was determined using the G Power® program (164 participants). Inclusion criteria were age between 18 and 60 years, working in the formal or informal sector, and living in Mexico. A demographic profile, the LS Scale (á= 0.76) and the QAW Questionnaire (á= 0.90) were used. Descriptive and inferential statistics (Spearman and a simple linear regression model) were used for analysis. Results: The mean age was 35.46 years, and the mean number of years worked was 8.64. The majority were women (58.1 %) and education workers (31.7 %). A relationship was found between LS and quality of aging at work (r= 6.36, p<0.001). Quality of aging at work explained 30 % of LS (F=69.322, R2= .30, p= .000). Conclusion: The quality of aging at work influences LS, which provides useful data for developing occupational health policies and designing nursing interventions that promote a healthy environment and improve workers’ well-being.
