Abstract

The research attempts to gain insight in to the role of a sample population of women employed in different occupations, in balancing work and life in Tamil Nadu, India. The emphasis is primarily on professionalism and was carried out by conducting a survey among respondents who were first generation women earners. Data were collected by (cluster-random) sampling along with semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire. The data was studied and analysed in order to explore and portray the sensitivity of women and their perceptions of the society as well as to highlight the values, attitudes and beliefs of women in the formal work organizations and primary family system. The findings revealed that role conflict, lack of recognition, organizational politics, gender discrimination, elderly and children care issues, quality of health, problems in time management and lack of proper social support are the major factors influencing the WLB of women professionals in India.
