Abstract

The work-life balance of women employees in the IT sector is an ongoing concern, particularly as women are required to manage multiple roles in their professional and personal lives. This study investigates how women working in the IT sector in the Thiruvananthapuram district navigate these challenges and the impact on their job satisfaction, stress levels, and overall quality of life. By using statistical tools such as the chi-square test and correlation analysis, the study examines key factors such as working hours, family responsibilities, and stress to provide insights into the specific obstacles women face in balancing work and life. The study further offers recommendations to improve organizational policies aimed at fostering a healthier work-life balance, with the goal of enhancing job satisfaction and reducing stress for women employees. The results supplement the growing body of knowledge on gender equality and workplace dynamics in the IT sector.
