Author : S Sabeena Sharon and B Vijayalakshmi

Abstract :

The study examines the impact of work-life balance attributes; Workload, Flexible Work Arrangements, Institutional Support, and Family Responsibilities on the well-being of female employees in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs). Using a sample size of 328 respondents, data were collected and analyzed through SPSS, employing a stratified random sampling approach to ensure representation across various institutional categories. The study evaluates the relationship between work-life balance factors and employee well-being, identifying key determinants that influence job satisfaction, stress levels, and overall quality of life. Statistical techniques, including factor analysis and regression analysis, were applied to assess the significance of these variables. The findings provide insights into how institutional policies and support mechanisms can enhance female employees' well-being, thereby contributing to a more inclusive and productive academic environment. The study offers recommendations for policymakers and educational administrators to improve work-life balance initiatives, ensuring better retention, engagement, and overall job satisfaction among female employees in HEIs.
