A Study on Work- Life Balance of Working Couples in Trichy

Abstract

Work-Life balance is one of the most significant aspects in the life of working couples.  In today’s competitive and ever demanding workplace striking a cord between responsibilities at work and home becomes an extremely difficult task. Work-life balance refers to the synchronization between accountabilities at the workplace and other roles and responsibilities of the personal life that are important to individuals.  In an ideal situation there should be a perfect balance between the time spent at work and home, but in reality this seems to be practically impossible.  When conflict arises between these couples, it has adverse consequences for both employees and organisation.  These shuffling dual roles may prevent representatives both married and unmarried to contribute optimally to the organisation because of time pressure and expanded levels of stress and emotional burnout.  The data are collected through questionnaire and the sampling technique is Disproportional sampling technique.  For measurable investigations, SPSS-25 version used and Statistical tools like percentage analysis, ANOVA, Correlation, Chi-square and ‘t’ test applied.  The findings were based on the Research hypothesis, demographic profile and various dimensions of work-life balance of working couples.  Suggestions and Conclusion are based on these findings.  This paper aims on the work-life balance of working couples in Trichy.
