Work-Life Balance Edited
Work-Life Balance Edited
Introduction - The issue of balancing work and life is rising to the front of many firms' and
workers' agendas, both at work and at home. Human resource professionals look for methods to
improve their firms' bottom lines, boost employee happiness, retain employees with critical
corporate knowledge, and stay up with workplace changes in today's fast-paced society. Work-
life balance has become a big subject in today's world of competing responsibilities and
obligations. People are finding it more difficult to manage the pressures of the profession with
the obligations of a housewife, whether male or female, in today's fast-paced society. Their lives
are like a see-saw, swinging back and forth, and they frequently find themselves juggling. This
present management issue has become challenging for young corporate executives who have
only recently begun their family life, as well as for young and middle-aged parents who must pay
close attention to their children who are fast-growing students or young adults. Changing to a
method in which emotional intelligence takes the lead might aid in achieving Work-Life
Management equilibrium.
WHAT IS WORK-LIFE BALANCE?
Work-life balance relates to how personal and professional activities are prioritized in an
individual's life, as well as how prominent work-related activities are at home.
Work-life balance is an issue that impacts businesses, the market, the government, and society as
a whole. Women who are pregnant and parents who are raising children are critical components
of the future labour and consumer markets. While the workplace continues to be based on male
breadwinner workers, the shift from a single male breadwinner family model to one in which
both parents work has made it more difficult to raise children.
"Work-family balance" evolved into "work-life balance" in part as a response to employees
without benefits. "Life" refers to any unpaid activities or duties. While the term "unpaid work" is
not usually used to refer to work, it might be broadened to cover it.

5. LITERATURE REVIEW
V.T.R. Vijaya Kumar, Mrs. Asha Pravin, Mr. J.Dhilip studied by "A Study on Work-
Life Balance among Married Women Employed in Engineering Colleges.
Conclusion Work-life balance was discussed in this study paper: a healthy balance between
one's employment and private life can increase both one's quality of life and productivity at
work. According to the researchers, women's work-life balance is not as straightforward as it
appears. The attitudes of a diverse group of female employees regarding competing demands
at home, work, and personal life are two sides of the same coin. It is important for women to
work-life balance for employees to maintain a good balance between work and their personal
lives. Employees' sources of support and the problems that impede their work-life balance.
This research paper title is "A study on Work-Life Balance in Working Women".
Written by G. Delina Ph.D. Research Scholar.
According to this study expert, very few women had access to advanced education, and they
were obliged to rely on their fathers' or spouses' attitudes regarding women and labour. The
rapidly evolving information industry has created opportunities for more women to be
enlightened by higher education. Education has not only empowered them, but it has also
provided them with a solid career path. To investigate the incidence of work-life balance
issues among married working women, To investigate the work-life balance issues of
married working women based on demographic factors such as age, number of children, and
spouse's profession. 34 The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of work-life
balance on the quality of life of married working women.

work-life balance. Journal of family and economic issues, 22(2), 101-119.
We investigate whether different work schedules impact perceived work-life imbalance—the
"time bind." The findings reveal that different timetables do not, in and of themselves,
"unbind" time. However, perceived control over work schedules improves work-life balance
after controlling for family and job characteristics. Being a parent is the most constant family
attribute that predicts imbalance. Hours worked are the most constant work variable that
predicts imbalance. When hours worked are controlled for, women and part-timers are found
to experience more imbalance. Younger and more educated people also report a greater
work-life imbalance. They do, however, claim higher degrees of timetable management and
alternate schedule control methods.
McDowell, L. (2004). Work, workfare, work/life balance and an ethic of care. Progress
in Human Geography, 28(2), 145-163.
This study expands on Paul Cloke's (2002) compelling argument on the need for human
geography to establish an ethical attitude. He has done so, however, through an examination
of the implications of several changes, such as the labour market in the United Kingdom, the
assumptions underlying welfare provision under New Labour, and the position of women and
men in the United Kingdom, rather than through an emphasis on the Christian values that
infused Cloke's argument. I demonstrate how an individualistic ethos penetrates both the
labour market and the welfare state, undermining concepts of communal welfare and an ethic
of caring within the larger framework of neoliberal ideology's predominance in global and
national politics. If an ethic of care is to be (re)established, it will necessitate far-reaching
changes in how organizations and institutions operate at various geographical scales, as well
as new sets of obligations toward coworkers, family members, and the general public. I end
by addressing some of the ramifications of such an ethic for ordinary academic activities.

gender and work-life balance among men and women in mid‐life. Gender, Work &
Organization, 16(1), 151-172.
Many current studies of 'work-life balance' either overlook or take gender for granted. To
compare work-life balance experiences, we conducted semi-structured interviews with men and
women in their forties (aged 50 to 52 years). Our findings indicate that gender continues to play
a role in how respondents balance home and work life. The women addressed their present
difficulty balancing numerous responsibilities (despite the fact that they had no small children at
home), whereas the males recounted comparable conflicts in the past when their children were
young. However, there was diversity among men (some of whom 'worked to live,' while others
'lived to work') and women (some of whom constructed themselves in relation to their families,
while others positioned themselves as 'independent women,' as well as some similarities between
men and women (both men and women constructed themselves as 'pragmatic workers'). We
propose strategies to broaden gender-neutral conceptions of work-life balance.
Warren, T. (2004). Working part‐time: achieving a successful 'work‐life balance? 1. the
British journal of sociology, 55(1), 99-122.
The function of part-time work in balancing women's work and family life has spawned a
plethora of literature. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey on women
working part-time and full-time in various level occupations, this paper argues that it is now
critical to move these balancing debates beyond work-family rhetoric and reposition the
study of women's working time in broader work-life discussions. Work-family debates
sometimes overlook numerous essential aspects that women balance in their life, in addition
to family and job, such as financial stability and leisure. The research demonstrates that
evaluating the financial positions and leisure lifestyles of female part-time workers in lower-
level employment offers a less hopeful image of their 'life balance' than is depicted in much
work-family literatures. Instead, they appeared as the least financially secure employees and,
as a result, the least content with their social life. It is concluded that since the work‐life
system is multi‐ and not just two‐dimensional, it is crucial to examine how all life domains
interrelate with each other. In this way, we would be better positioned to begin assessing all
the benefits and disadvantages of working part‐time and with other work‐life balancing
strategies.

Understanding line manager attitudes and behaviors. Human Resource Management
Review, 20(2), 158-167.
Work-life balance (W.L.B.) is gaining popularity in the field of human resource management.
With the devolution of human resource management authority, line managers play a more active
part in H.R.M. decision-making, including work-life balance considerations. Using planned
behavior theory, this study provides a conceptual model that explains what influences line
manager W.L.B. policy and practice behaviors, as well as the impact on employee W.L.B.
experience in their businesses. Line manager engagement in W.L.B. policies, policy awareness,
perceived policy instrumentality, and personal policy use are characteristics hypothesized to
influence line manager attitudes toward W.L.B. policies. These attitudes, in turn, are thought to
have an impact on three employee W.L.B. policy outcomes: policy knowledge, policy adoption,
and policy satisfaction. The ramifications for future research and practice are discussed in detail.

Working longer and longer hours is not good for company - or for people. Worrying about
childcare or eldercare can only increase your stress. Returning to work too soon after a major
life event, such as a birth, death, or sickness, is likely to have a negative impact in the long
run.
G.Delina, Ph.D., Research Scholar, "A Study of Work-Life Balance in Working Women."
This researcher investigated women's limited access to higher education, which forced them
to rely on their fathers' or husbands' opinions toward women and labour. Because of the fast
expanding information sector, a greater proportion of women now have access to higher
education.
Not only has education empowered them, but it has also given them with a stable job path.
The goal of this research is to determine how widespread work-life balance concerns are
among married working women..

when men and women are equal, they share the burden of earning money for the well-being
of their families equally. Life. According to research, most women work 40-45 hours each

Reveal that employees who were more supportive of their company's efforts to depart were
more likely to do so. They have pride in their company, are eager to recommend it as a place
to work, and have a higher salary gratification at work. According to a survey done among
those who have difficulty establishing work-life balance, Those who work in Australia are
their counterparts. This has the effect of increasing overall life pleasure. As a result, the
survey revealed that female academics in the United Kingdom are dissatisfied with their jobs.

Conceptual Study of Relationship between Emotional Intelligence & Work Life Balance in
Corporate World by Prof. Sandhya Shelar in the year 2018
The investigation has been conducted on There is a scarcity of scholarly research on
employee engagement in the extant literature (Saks, 2006). Furthermore, as addressed
later in this paper, there is some misunderstanding concerning the idea of employee
intelligence. The research paper published in the IUP Journal of Organizational Behavior
in April 2015 on 'Exploring the Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence and Work-
Life Balance in the Service Industry' provides an encouraging finding that employees,
regardless of gender or age, benefit from high levels of emotional intelligence in
achieving low interference of personal life with work and work with personal life. They
have a better work-life balance overall.
The impact of Work-Life balance on Job Satisfaction by A.Aruna Shantha in the year 2019
The following research studies provide theoretical basis for the current investigation.
Work Life Balance was described differently by different academics. Professor
Opatha (2001) defines balance as "the stability, significance, or strength that we have
between two things." As a result, Job Life Balance is a decent balance between an
individual's work life and personal/family life. Balance between work and family life
is described as the degree to which you meet the demands of your job and your
family. If you meet the respective expectations in a way that makes you happy, you
may claim that you have a good work-life balance. By the end of 1980, WLB was
recognised as a problem not just for women, but also for males (Bird,
2006).Similarly, Lewis (2003), cited from Lewis et al. (2000), stated that the
discussion on work life is more gender neutral and is a concern of both men and
women who try to balance between family responsibilities, workplace and leisure.
Work Life Balance policies and practices can bring clear benefits to their
business (Narendernath, 2007; The Business Case, 2001). . All in all Work Life
Balance is said to also improve the quality of life of employees in that employees
who experience WLB are fully engaged in both roles, not allowing urgencies in
either their work or family domain to affect their performance in either of these roles
chronically.
The research was conducted, and it was discovered that the promotion of work-
life balance policies is of mandatory importance to the governing body in order to
increase commitment to a company. According to Hyman et al. (2003), the job-
related variables that intrude into workers' non-work life include organizational
pressures combined with a lack of work centrality. Such invasions frequently
emerge differently depending on the nature of job, degree of autonomy, and
organizational support (Hyman et al. 2003; Atkinson and Meager 1986). Fisher
and Layte (2003) defined three unique sets of work-life balance measurements,
including the proportion of free time, the overlap of work and other dimensions
of life, and the time spent with other people. According to Burke (2002), an
organization that promotes work-life balance is chosen by both men and women.
The advantage appeared to be greater for males than for women. Men were more
satisfied when they achieved more in their jobs, even if it meant disregarding
their families. Women, on the other hand, highlighted the need of striking a
balance between job and family sources of fulfilment. When employment
prohibits women from caring for their families, they are sad, disillusioned, and
frustrated. Women dislike the blurring of the lines between work and home life.

and cannot manage to spend time with their families and loved ones. This made them hate their
job, and that impacted their efficiency and productivity.
Scope of the project –
The present study shows us how university faculties manage their work life and the balance
between their working life and personal life, which includes their family, income level, status,
etc. so this study will help to understand the problems and how this can be solved.

Research Methodology –
Research methodology is a systematic way to solve a problem. It is the science of studying how
research is to be carried out. Essentially, the procedures by which researchers go about their
work of describing, explaining, and predicting phenomena are called research methodology. It is
also defined as the study of methods by which knowledge is gained.
This type of data collection is very popular, especially when dealing with large inquiries. The
questionnaire is mailed to responders, who are expected to read and comprehend it before
writing their responses in the space provided on the questionnaire. A questionnaire is distributed
to people with the request that they answer the questions and return them. Questions are printed
in a predetermined sequence and delivered to samples which are expected to read, understand,
and respond to the questions in the space supplied.
Hypothesis-
Null hypothesis – There is no significant relationship between the work-life balance among
university faculties and their length of service.
The alternative hypothesis- there is a significant relationship between the work-life balance of
university faculties and their length of service.

RESEARCH FINDINGS
1) DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE:
According to the demographic profile of the respondents, the bulk of them (45 percent)
were BELOW 30 years old and had one or two children. While 16.7 percent of
respondents had no senior dependents to care for, the remainder reported at least two or
more elderly dependents. As a result, the vast majority of respondents belonged to a
family of at least four individuals. The whole faculty sample included for this study had
to have finished their degree. The majority (61.7 percent) had master's degrees, 10% had
bachelor's degrees, and roughly (25 percent) had a doctorate or other degree. (48.3
percent) of those polled were married, while (51.7 percent) were unmarried. About 40%
of those polled had worked in this institution for one year or less, while 5% had worked
there for more than 20 years. Respondents' responses to open-ended questions indicated
that the majority of women had made a conscious decision to pursue a profession, and
many of them had selected vocations without any force or pressure. The majority of them
had gotten a job to satisfy their urge to be independent and self-sufficient, while some
had gotten a job to support the family income. None of the respondents felt that their
contributions to the organization were unappreciated. Over eighty-five percent of
respondents felt they made a significant contribution to their organization. They also felt
deserving of their position and prestige. According to the findings, women who work do
so of their own free will and are not necessarily hired to offer financial assistance for
their families. Discussions with respondents also indicated that women in higher-level
career positions have a better work-life balance since their salary is higher and their jobs
are more flexible. Working women with family support were also said to have a better
work-life balance and less work pressure.
INTERFERENCE OF WORK WITH FAMILY LIFE:
Majority of the respondents agreed that work interfered with family life. This may be
attributed to the fact that mostly work hours are not limited to 5-6 hours in a day, they spend
more time in work This leaves them with very little time for family, there may be
interference of work with family life due to long hours spent in completing official work and
family problem distracts them to perform well their job.

A. The study is limited to teachers of only University (Invertis University), so this study can be
extended to compare the dimensions of work-life balance with teachers of other universities.
B. The study was conducted in a limited time period on a limited sample. For the purpose of
future study and much better results, the sample size of the respondents can be increased.
C. Data collection was a problem because most of the teachers generally do not have time to
provide responses. Some respondents were so busy in their routine life that they are not
easily ready to fill the questionnaire. An intensive follow-up and reminder mechanism is
needed in the future to enhance the inflexibility of the process.
CONCLUSION
Work-life balance is essential. It is possible to conclude that conflict arises when expectations
from the work and non-work domains are mutually conflicting. As a result, via job happiness, we
must find a balance between work and life. Work-life balance has become increasingly
challenging, and this is universally accepted. Due to technological advancements in the last
decade or two, the global workplace has seen a rise in the number of working women, dual-
parent and single-parent families, and employees with eldercare responsibilities; a reduction in
job security; and questioning of work-family boundaries. A good work-life balance indicates a
considerable organizational value when it comes to the workplace. Employees are in charge of
the productivity and profitability of the firm.
