This study aims to examine the impact of self-construal on life satisfaction among professionals, analyze the relationship between self-construal types (independent and interdependent) and life satisfaction, and explore gender differences in these variables. Self-construal, reflecting individuals' self-perception in relation to others, is crucial in professional settings where identity and interactions are key. Understanding its influence on life satisfaction can enhance insights into professional well-being. A quantitative survey design was employed with 120 professionals (60 men, 60 women). Data were collected using a demographic information form, the Self-Construal Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Correlations revealed significant relationships: independent self-construal (.83**) and interdependent self-construal (.88**) both correlated with life satisfaction (.50**). Independent self-construal showed moderate correlation with interdependent self-construal (.49**) and life satisfaction (.30**). Gender differences were significant in life satisfaction, with men reporting higher satisfaction. Professionals should be aware of how self-construal impacts life satisfaction, and interventions tailored to self-construal types could enhance overall well-being.
