Abstract

An ideal balance between work and personal life is desirable that one wishes to master. But, the changing global scenario makes it harder for employees, especially IT professionals, to maintain a balance between professional life and personal life. In this study, the researchers have made an attempt to find the level of Work/Life Balance (WLB) among the employees of IT sector. A scale to assess the work/life balance, developed by Pareek and Udai (2010), has been administered on 100 employees of three IT companies to measure the work/life balance. No significant difference in work/life balance has been found between male and female, employees of different age groups, and duration of their work experience.
