Abstract

The primary education sector is one of the most prosperous sectors in Bangladesh and most of the teachers in this field are women. This study looked specifically at the state of the working life balance of women in the field of teaching and its impact on their perceived performance. Data have been collected among the 130 women educators currently working in various governments and at the kinder school in Bangladesh. A structured questionnaire was used to collect samples from participants. Phase data is summarized using frequency distribution, bivariate analysis performed on chi-square test and multiple liner retrieval is used to identify potential variations associated with perceived performance. The average age was 40-50 y (about 50%) followed by 38.5% it was 30-40 years. 31.5% had more than 2 dependencies. Of them, 57.17% were satisfied with the actual work, 24.87% were neutral and 10% disagreed with their performance. The results of the various organizations showed that age (p-value = 0.002), dependency number (p-value = 0.002), marital status (p-value = 0.006), institutional types (p-value = 0.004) were significantly different depending on their performance. However, the variance was not found in terms of working age. Research has shown that most professionals are satisfied with their performance, however, one in ten thinks they are not performing satisfactorily. Evidence shows that with the reduction of workload per hour, work structures from the organization can speed up the performance of professionals.
