Abstract :

Purpose: With marvelous increase in the work force vis–à–vis the entry of a woman in various professions in the past two decades, many concerns have come into light owing to her twofold job i.e. work & home. As she has raised the ladder of the professional world, the issue of creating balance between these roles has become an important concern as well. There could be numerous factors which can lead to the disturbance of this balance & hence the present study tries to focus on such responsible causes. Findings: Findings imply that: a) Conflict can be divided in to two forms, work – family conflict and family – work conflict i.e. work as well as family; can interfere into each other’s domain. b) Working hours and high job demands influences work–family conflict. Age of children and role overload affects family–work conflict. Value: The results of this paper lend support to the theory that with the rise of women in the workforce worldwide, the inter role conflict has also risen. Although there could be several reasons responsible for the incompatibility of these two roles but this study supports (with the help of literature review) four independent variables, namely working hours, high job demands, age of children and role overload.
