    WORK LIFE BALANCE AMONG UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE TEACHERS OF AMRITSAR CITY (PUNJAB) Hardeep Singh PhD Research Scholar, IKG Punjab Technical University, Kapurthala (Punjab) India Email: geniussodhi@gmail.com Dr. Rohan Sharma Associate Professor, Innocent Heart Group of Institutes, Jalandhar (Punjab) India Email: rohansharma001@gmail.com “Life is like riding a bicycle to keep your balance you keep moving” – Albert Einstein Abstract: In today fast growing time of technology we all are passing thorough a common problem – how to maintain a right balance between professional career life and personal family life. This is called work-life balance. In this paper we have discussed about the meaning of work life balance, need of work life balance, working hours, and factors affecting the work life balance and how to manage work-life balance for teachers working in universities and colleges of Amritsar City of Punjab state. This paper is mainly based on primary data and secondary data. Secondary data was collected from various articles, research papers and magazines. Primary data has been discussed that has been collected with the help of questionnaires, personal interview and interactions done with teachers of universities and colleges. Keywords: Balance, Family, Professional Life, Personal Life, Teachers, Work Life Balance. Introduction: Personal Life and Professional Life are the two most important domains in the life of an employed individual. Some may argue that we realize ourselves through work – being able to self-actualize – attaining unto the very zenith of our chosen career; a truly all-encompassing self-actualization however, will integrate both our work and life (family, personal life, community service). When an individual is thus employed in an organization, he does not give up his life in exchange for work rather he attempts to maintain a balance between them. This balance is necessary for a healthy life. For many employees, the day is not over when they go home. Often, a second day of work starts at home for most working mothers, they come home to the second shift (assuming the inescapable role of a wife and a mother). The challenge of balancing work and family (non-work) demands is one of today‘s central concerns for both individuals and organizations (Valcour, 2007). People who have better balance have a greater job satisfaction and perform better in their position. They have a bigger loyalty and a higher level of trust (Vlems, 2005). In many of today‘s workplaces, employers are cutting cost mainly through lay-offs and are placing more demands on the lean staff left behind. The excuse is to stay afloat in the wake of a global economic recession. The implication however, is that the more time and energy employees give to work, the less they have to give to the other important aspects of their lives, thus creating a work-life balance problem with its attendant negative consequences for both the employee and the organization. In this paper, we contend that assisting employees to achieve a work-life balance should become a critical part of HR policy and strategy if it is to truly get the best from the organization’s people without leaving them unsatisfied, burnt-out and unfulfilled. Meaning of Work-Life Balance Work-life balance is a broad concept including proper prioritizing between “work” (career and ambition) on one hand and “life” (pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development) on the other. Related, though broader, terms include “lifestyle balance” and “life balance”. Work life bala

    WORK LIFE BALANCE AMONG

    UNIVERSITY & COLLEGE TEACHERS OF


    AMRITSAR CITY (PUNJAB)

    HARDEEP SINGH
    &

    Dr. ROHAN SHARMA


    “Life is like riding a bicycle to keep your balance
    you keep moving”
    – Albert Einstein
    .
    MEANING OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE

    Work life balance may be defined as the conflicts between


    the demands of work and the demand of personal life
    (family commitments, leisure time activities etc).
    LITERATURE REVIEW (1)
    • Rathee Rupa, e.t al. (2018) in their paper “Factors Affecting Work Life Balance of
    Women in Education Sector” stated that tug of war between time and work, stress,
    traveling problem, people’s attitude towards their jobs, excessive responsibilities at
    home and workplace, lack of coordination at workplace and home, family’s
    expectations etc. are hindrance of work life balance.
    • C. Muthulakshmi (2018) in his paper “Study on Work Life Balance among the
    Teaching Professionals of Arts and Science Colleges in Tuticorin District” found
    that the growing diversity of family structures represented in the workforce,
    including dual-earner couples, single parents, blended families, teaching staff
    members with elder care responsibilities and the increasing number or people
    choosing to live alone, has heightened the relevance of balancing work and life roles
    for a substantial segment of employed men and women.
    • Nor Azilah Husin, e.t al. (2018) in their paper “Work-life Balance of Malaysian
    Lecturers” has stated Family, work, and flexible working hours are significantly
    related to WLB. Health factor mediates all the variables. Family factor (F2 = 0.662)
    and health factor (F2 = 0.414)
    LITERATURE REVIEW (2)
    • Agha, K., e.t al. (2017) in paper “Work-life balance & job satisfaction: An empirical
    study focusing on higher education teachers in Oman” identified the relationship
    between work life balance, teaching satisfaction & job satisfaction. Results show that
    teaching satisfaction had a positive relationship with job satisfaction.
    • Zaheer, A., et. al. (2016) in paper “Occupational stress and work-life balance: A
    study of female Faculites of central Universities in Delhi, India” found that
    correlation analysis identified a strong positive relationship between occupational
    stress and work life imbalance of female faculty in central universities of Delhi.
    • Shalini M. (2017) in her research paper “Work Life Balance among Women Employees
    with Reference to Teaching Faculties at KLE S.Nijalingappa College” stated that Work
    life balance is a proper management of career and personal life. Findings include that
    service to the society motivates them to work in teaching profession. The respondents
    listen to music to manage stress. Family emergencies and health issues affect their
    professional life. Work on holidays and long travelling hours to work place affect the
    personal life. Interpersonal relationship in work place helps to maintain work life
    balance.
    OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

    To study the overall work life balance of the college &


    university teachers.
    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    • Primary & Secondary Data


    • Research Papers, Articles, Journals, Magazines
    • Survey Questionnaire (24 Questions 35 Respondents)
    • Personal Interviews and Interactions
    • Teachers working in Universities & Colleges of Amritsar
    RESULTS & FINDINGS (1)
    • Good/bad feeling about working as a teacher in a college/university is
    also a problem for work-life balance.
    • Flexible starting time helps in balancing work life.
    • Flexible finishing time helps in balancing work life.
    • Flexible hours in general helps in balancing work life.
    • Personal feeling of holidays help in balancing work life.
    • Satisfaction with life overall plays a major role in work-life balance.
    • Satisfaction as an employee of the organization plays an important
    role in work-life balance.
    • Job Satisfaction also plays a major role in work-life balance.
    • Aspects of Health and Health Care again is an important factor for
    work-life balance.
    RESULTS & FINDINGS (2)
    • The small amount of leisure is a hindrance in work-life balance.
    • Marriage/Intimate Relationship – Still people have family conflicts
    that causes problem in work-life balance.
    • Technology such as laptops, Mobile Phone causes hindrance in
    balancing work and family commitments.
    • Negative attitude of peers and colleagues at work place causes
    hindrance in balancing your work and family commitments.
    • Negative attitude of HOD, Principal/Director and Employer causes
    hindrance in balancing work and family commitments.
    • Negative attitude of family members causes hindrance in balancing
    work and family commitments
    Lastly we conclude that there are many teachers that are having
    work life balance problem. The factors that play major role in
    work life balance are job satisfaction level, work place issues,
    time problem, leisure time problem, less time for family,
    negative attitude of employers, HODs, Principals and Directors
    and even peers. Work life balance can be improved by improving
    the work place culture, solving work place issues, by solving the
    time problems of the teachers, by working upon job satisfaction
    factors and deceasing the work pressure and stress of the teachers
    of universities and colleges.
