Work-Life Balance And Its Effect On Job Performance, Satisfaction, And Stress Among Female Faculty At Vnsgu

Abstract

This study focuses on understanding how work-life balance influences the job performance, satisfaction, and stress levels of female faculty at Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU). In today’s fast-moving academic world, balancing work and family roles is often challenging, especially for women. Using both primary and secondary data, responses were gathered from 150 female faculty members through a structured questionnaire. The data covered their age, marital status, teaching experience, family background, and daily responsibilities. Various statistical tools like descriptive statistics, normality tests, reliability checks, correlation, t-tests, and ANOVA were applied to ensure the findings are accurate and reliable. Results showed that most female faculty strongly agreed that when they have a healthy balance between work and family, they feel more satisfied and perform better at work, with lesser stress. The reliability score of the study was high (Cronbach’s Alpha 0.88) and normality tests confirmed the data was suitable for advanced analysis. Overall, this study highlights the urgent need for flexible work policies and better institutional support to help women balance their professional and personal roles well. It also provides useful insights for policymakers and university management to make changes that support the well-being of female staff.
