A STUDY ON WORK LIFE BALANCE OF WOMEN SCHOOL TEACHER’S WORKING IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS

Abstract

Achieving work-life balance is essential for working women, who often juggle career and family responsibilities. Setting boundaries, prioritizing tasks, seeking support, and practicing self-care can help in managing stress and maintaining fulfilment in both personal and professional spheres. This study investigates the work-life balance challenges faced by women private school teachers. Using a structured questionnaire distributed among educators in private institutions, we identify the key demographic, professional, and domestic factors influencing their work-life dynamics. Findings reveal that, while many teachers successfully manage their personal and professional responsibilities, a notable portion struggle with extended working hours, insufficient institutional support, and stress-related health issues. The analysis highlights motivating factors such as job autonomy and recognition, contrasted with essential areas for improvement, including compensation and caregiving support. It underscores the necessity for tailored strategies at both the organizational and personal levels to enhance the well-being and productivity of women educators. This research offers valuable insights that contribute to the ongoing discourse on work-life balance, informing policy development and institutional reforms within the education sector.
