ABSTRACT:
Work-life balance pertains to one's capacity to effectively deal with the demands of both professional and personal life and find fulfilment in both arenas. In the recent past, work-life balance has attracted greater focus due to the fact that work and personal life demands tend to conflict with one another, posing difficulties to employees, most especially within the private sector. This research specifically investigates the work-life balance of private sector bank employees in Tirupur District. The study attempts to assess the status of work-life balance among these employees, determining the factors contributing to their inability to achieve a healthy work-personal life balance. The research indicates that a considerable percentage, 47.19% of the employees, experience challenges in maintaining work-life balance, which may contribute to stress and job dissatisfaction. The analysis also examines the impact of socio-economic and job-related factors (gender, age, marital status, earnings, and work experience) on work-life balance based on the Chi-Square test. But the findings of this study report that there is no statistically significant association between these variables and employees' capacity for attaining balanced life. According to the findings, this study recommends pragmatic recommendations for improving work-life balance, such as flexible working times, conducive work policies, and better job roles. Besides, suggestions for further research are also given, highlighting the necessity of more in-depth study in organizational culture, the contribution of technology towards work flexibility, and the consequences of work-induced stress.
