Perspectives of Work Life Balance in Organisational Context

The work behaviour and the number of working personnel has expanded in recent years. To create an equilibrium between work and life is getting no attention. The deadlines, commitments, duties, responsibilities remain at the topmost priority without addressing needs of leisure, break, refreshments, hobbies and rest. It is entirely fair and professionally necessary to seek leave for vacation, rest, or the pursuit of hobbies during one’s tenure of work. These are not luxuries but essential elements of maintaining mental well-being, sustained productivity, and long-term professional effectiveness. No organization benefits from employees who are overworked, fatigued, or disengaged due to lack of personal time. At the same time, this right must be balanced with a clear understanding of the seriousness and responsibilities of one’s job role. Professional commitment demands that leave is planned thoughtfully, deadlines are respected, and work continuity is ensured. The primary objective of carrying this study is to understand the nature of work life balance and their determinants from an organisational context. I will explore the means of maintaining a balance and the particular consequences of imbalances. I will also dive deep into the coping mechanism of imbalanced work-life. This study will benefit executives to understand this phenomenon and ways to incorporate it in daily habits. It will also help the organizations to reconsider humanitarian needs judiciously and deploy effective measures.
