Abstract

Bangladesh, being a developing country, has been observing growth in female workforce in recent years, and work-life balance for female has become a prevalent yet less talked issue there. However, few available literatures recognised this issue but mostly for blue-collar female employees. Whereas in reality, white collar working female are also burdened with major challenges to balance their work and life. Therefore, the study was carried out with an aim to investigate the determinants of work-life balance among the white-collar female employees working in private sector of Bangladesh. The study employed a mixed methodology of online questionnaires with 189 responses from the private sector white collar females and semi-structured interviews on four varied background human resources' personnel. The main findings show personal and family-social life are affected most due to their job and these two determinants can significantly influence overall balance between work and life.
