A STUDY ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE OF INDIAN WOMEN EMPLOYEES IN THE BANKING SECTOR

Abstract

The work-life balance and imbalance are the main topics of this essay. One of the most difficult difficulties facing female professionals in the twenty-first century is work-life balance in banking. Due to societal demands and economic circumstances, working women's roles have evolved globally. In 1969, the Indian banking industry was nationalized, which acted as the first significant action to lessen gender discrimination against women working in banking. Women who work in banking are able to manage their personal and professional lives. According to the study's findings, there are no specific regulations for working women's work-life balance; nonetheless, the majority of female employees embraced job sharing, and they found that support from co-workers helped them manage their time effectively. Work-Life Balance is a continuous issue that has to be managed rather than a problem that needs to be addressed. Women employees' relationships suffer from work-life imbalance because they may miss significant occasions and family interactions due to excessive work. Work-life conflict among female employees is caused by an imbalance between "work" and "life," and it leads to increased absenteeism, decreased productivity, decreased job satisfaction, increased management stress, and strained family and social relationships. To get more broadly applicable findings, future studies must concentrate on a larger sample size.
