Work-Life Balance And Its Determinants – A Study On Essilor Manufacturing India Pvt Ltd., Bangalore

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the factors that affect employees' work-life balance in the manufacturing industry. The literature review on the theme provides insights into the determinants of work-life balance. This paper builds on the conceptual model to understand the work-life balance and its determinants. It also gives an insight into the work-life balance-related determinants such as socioeconomic and demographic factors of the respondents, work-to-family (W→F) and family-to-work (F→W) interference of the employees, Job Stress, work-life balance policies present in the organisation, and gender influence on work-life balance. For this paper, both primary and secondary data were collected. The primary data collected directly from the manufacturing industry employees in Bengaluru brings out the work-life balance and its determinants.

Primary data is collected through a questionnaire. The secondary data is collected from literature reviews, articles, print media and the Internet. Findings from the primary data show that work-life balance and the determinants are strongly connected.
