Between Career and Care: Job Involvement and Stress among working women Professionals
Abstract
Participation of women in the workforce has increased over time, and as a result, more attention is given to job involvement, stress, and work-life balance. The objective of the current research study was to examine the level of job involvement and stress among working women professionals, specifically teachers in the Tirupattur District. Additionally, the research seeks to examine the influence of socio-demographic factors, organizational support, and work-life enrichment on work-life balance. The research design for the current study was descriptive in nature, and the data was collected from 80 working women professionals using a structured questionnaire. The data was analysis using statistical tools such as frequency distribution, t-test, ANOVA, and Karl Pearson correlation using SPSS software version 21. The research results revealed that a majority of the respondents reported high job involvement and time balance. However, variations in satisfaction suggest that some respondents are facing challenges in maintaining a balance between work and personal life. The research also revealed that the majority of the socio-demographic factors do not influence work-life balance, whereas monthly income has a significant relationship with satisfaction. Overall, the study points to the need for organizational support and work-life enrichment for the betterment of working women professionals.
