WORK-LIFE BALANCE AS A PARAMETER OF JOB SATISFACTION-A CONCEPTUAL STUDY AMONG WOMEN EMPLOYEES IN THE PRIVATE TEXTILE UNIT

Abstract

Work-Life Balance (WLB) is a state of equilibrium achieved between employee’s primary job responsibilities and personal commitments. In the current scenario, managing time for both career and personal aspects of life is challenging for both employees and employers. The disparity in managing time often generates low productivity, dissatisfied employees, deprived performance and vice versa. The objective of this study was to know if the women employees manage their Work-Life Balance and to find the related attributes and parameters that contribute to their work-life balance. The primary data is collected through research questionnaire and personal interview. Descriptive research was used to find out the characteristic feature of the respondents. The hypotheses were framed on the basis of the relationship between colleagues, compensation policy, job satisfaction, welfare facility and organizational climate. The findings from this study reveal that the following parameters will significantly influence work-life balance.

• Supportive Colleagues / Managers (Conducive Work environment)
• Flexible working hours
• Transport facility (to optimize travel hours)
• Customized Policy to meet individual employee’s need.
