Author : Yogehwaran N and Teena Thomas

Abstract

This study investigates work-life balance (WLB) disparities between male and female employees in the corporate sector of Coimbatore, India. Using a descriptive research design with a structured questionnaire administered to 110 respondents, the study employs percentage analysis, chi-square tests, and graphical tools to examine gender-based differences in job satisfaction, stress levels, productivity, and overall well-being. Findings reveal that while 36.4% of respondents express satisfaction with their current work-life balance, significant gender disparities persist-female employees face higher role conflict due to dual professional and domestic responsibilities, whereas male employees encounter career-related performance pressures. Chi-square analysis confirms that work-life balance perceptions differ significantly across gender groups. Organizational support emerged as the most critical factor (30.9%), followed by flexible working hours (26.4%). The study recommends gender-sensitive workplace policies including flexible scheduling, reduced workloads, hybrid work models, and enhanced mental health support to foster equitable and sustainable work environments.
