Carolin Jebarani, Suji Sheeba

Abstract


A ‘work–life’ balance refers to an employee’s ability to maintain a healthy balance between their work roles, their personal responsibilities, and family life. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of work–life balance among married working women at The Salvation Army Catherine Booth College of Nursing in Nagercoil, Kanyakumari district. A quantitative research approach was used in this study. Structured Daniels and Mc Carraher checklist was developed to assess the work–life balance among the samples. A total of 30 married working women were selected using non-probability convenient sampling for the data collection. Quantitative data were analyzed using Chi-square test. 33% of them had adequate work–life balance, and 67% of them had poor work–life balance. The study concluded that overall work–life balance among married working women was less. Health wellness programs and employee-friendly organization policy can promote work–life balance.
