"Development and Validation of a Model for the Work-Life Balance (WLB) Among Women Employees in the Indian Education Sector: An Exploratory Study”

Abstract

Balanced work-life relationships are becoming more and more significant in the modern professional environment, especially among women who usually have to overcome complicated roles at the workplace and at home (McLellan and Uys, 2022). Work-life balance (WLB) contributes to the general well-being and professional satisfaction, which makes employees able to fulfill individual and professional obligations (Carlson et al., 2021). In the case of women, WLB is unattainable and extremely difficult because they have extra societal demands and family issues that may contribute to increased work-family tensions (Li et al., 2021). Policies and practices that deal with these issues are, thus, becoming the target of interest to organizations and WLB is a fundamental point of study. This paper focuses on different issues that affect WLB in women employees and compares both the positive and negative effects in order to see what leads to a balanced life.
