. Abirami R and Paul Rajan Rajkumar


Abstract

This study examined whether Parental status has an impact on Work and Family Balance of women faculty members working in various colleges. Work and Family balance is still common issues for both men and women but women have more stress and responsibilities to take care of their family relationship members, home chores, child care and Elder care etc, so they are constantly under depression. The most difficult parenting challenges aren't usually about the child; rather, it's the parent's issues that make things more difficult. Working women or homemakers are accepting to juggle their Personal life and professional life to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Most of the working women struggle for Parenting. The Research design is descriptive statistics such as Mean, Frequency, Kruskal-Wallis, Two ways ANOVA was used to analyze the Work-Family Conflict. The outcome of the ANOVA test has been carried for Age, Parental status – Hypothesis 1 Alternative hypothesis is accepted. The interaction between Age and Parental status – Hypothesis 0 Null hypothesis is accepted. There is insufficient evidence to dismiss the Null hypothesis. This study concludes that women faculty based on Age (year), Parental status has an effect on the work-family balance but there is not a statistically significant interaction between Age (year) and Parental status.
