Abstract: Working women in Indian hospitals often encounter specific challenges in achieving work-life balance. They face expectations and responsibilities within both the workplace and the family sphere. This dual burden can lead to increased stress and difficulties in managing work and personal commitments, impacting their overall well-being and job satisfaction. Research indicates that work-life balance significantly influences job satisfaction among working women in hospitals. When women can effectively manage their work and personal life responsibilities, they are more likely to experience higher job satisfaction levels. Factors such as flexible working arrangements, supportive organizational policies, and family-friendly initiatives can contribute to achieving a better work-life balance and, consequently, enhance job satisfaction. In the context of Indian hospitals, promoting work-life balance and job satisfaction among working women requires targeted interventions. Implementing policies that facilitate flexible work schedules, providing maternity leave and childcare support, and promoting a supportive work environment are essential. Encouraging open communication, offering mentoring and career development opportunities, and addressing gender biases can also contribute to women's job satisfaction. Moreover, collaboration between hospitals, healthcare professionals, and policymakers is crucial in implementing comprehensive strategies that address the unique challenges faced by working women in the healthcare sector. By prioritizing work-life balance and job satisfaction for women, hospitals can foster a more inclusive and supportive workplace, leading to improved retention rates, career advancement opportunities, and overall well-being among female healthcare professionals in India.This study aims at finding the general perception of work life balance and job satisfaction of women working in healthcare sector of Prayagraj district.
