A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE AMONG THE TEACHERS OF AIDED AND SELF-FINANCING SCHOOLS

Abstract

Achieving work-life balance is not a privilege or a benefit bestowed upon individuals; rather, it is a responsibility they must shoulder themselves. In today's intricate and demanding life, the dynamics of work and the workplace have evolved globally due to economic and societal changes. Work-family equilibrium can be disrupted by various factors, and success is contingent not solely on professional excellence but also on the ability to strike a harmonious work-life balance. Nevertheless, numerous elements impact one's work-life balance. Hence, this study was conducted with the primary goal of exploring these factors. The key objectives of this study encompass evaluating the quality of work life among teachers employed in government-aided and self-financing schools based on their gender, age, and income levels. Furthermore, the study aims to gain insights into the determinants influencing the work-life balance and stress levels experienced by teachers in government-aided and self-financed educational institutions.
