Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: Women's increased engagement as working professionals makes it more difficult for them to reconcile career and family responsibilities and it becomes more complicated when they are married. Due to women's conventional home roles, religious mandates, and cultural norms and beliefs, the situation gets more complicated in patriarchal nations like India. So this study aims to determine the effect of marital status in managing work life balance among women professionals of Uttar Pradesh, India.
Design/Methodology: The sample population of this study is full-time working women from Uttar Pradesh, India. Responses from 90 women serving in both public and private sector in Uttar Pradesh were investigated by applying descriptive and inferential analysis. Karl Pearson Co-efficient and linear regression analysis are used to test the hypotheses.
Findings: The findings show that work-life balance and work-family conflict of single women is more stable in comparison with married women. Work Family Conflict and Family Work is significantly different in both the marital statuses. It is more in married women and comparatively less in single women because they have lesser family responsibilities.
