Dr. D. Kanchana, Mr. P. Ganapathi

Abstract :

This paper presents the life time challenges of Dual career faculty couples in Namakkal District. While these couples face the same challenges as all dual career couples, faculty couples have to also combine these normal stresses with special challenges of working as a faculty member. The first challenge is the original job search and finding two different positions of the couples. The next challenge is through their tenure and promotion process. The third challenge is to have their advancement opportunities. Along the way, the couple has to work together to develop a work life balance plan to provide an environment for each person within the pair to thrive toward his/her career goals and personal goals. Besides balancing the day–to–day activities of a functioning household, couples must agree on timing for or if they will start a family and advancement opportunities for each. This paper will discuss work/life balance for a dual career engineering college faculty and their partner in different field and analyses the various phases of our careers and different “give and take” situations at those times. It also discusses the tools and advice that have been extremely helpful to the dual career couple faculties to maintain a healthy balance between work and personal lives
