Employees’ Satisfaction and Attitude towards Work-Life Balance: A Study on Married Female Employees in Insurance Sector Gurugram District

Abstract

Due to the accelerated speed of urbanization and industrialization, Indian households are witnessing fast changes. Women from all social classes in India have taken up paid jobs. Indian women's access to educational possibilities is far more now than it was decades ago, particularly in urban areas. This has opened up new perspectives, raised awareness, and increased personal growth objectives. This, combined with financial pressure, has played a significant role in impacting women's decision to work. Economic necessity has been cited as the key reason for working in most investigations of female employees in India. Work and home life are inextricably linked and intertwined. This paper identifies that for female employees in the insurance sector spending more time in the office, dealing with clients, and job constraints can have a negative impact on their personal life, making it difficult to even accomplish household duties. Personal life, on the other hand, might be difficult if the female employees have a child or ageing parents, financial troubles, or troubles in the life of a close relative. It can cause work absenteeism, tension, and a lack of focus at work. When the burdens, commitments, and expectations of work and family roles become irreconcilable, work-personal life conflict arises.
