Analysis of support mechanism related barriers faced by women employees in it sector

The present study attempts to analyse the support mechanism related barriers faced by the women in IT Sector. A sample of 300 women employees is drawn on the basis of judgement sampling from IT companies in NCR. To achieve the objective taken up in the study, primary data were collected through a pre-tested structured questionnaire on five point Likert scale. The data were analysed through various descriptive and inferential statistical techniques like mean, standard deviation and Mann Whitney U-test and Kruskal Wallies H-test, etc. It is found that lack of support to work in night shifts, more dependent on others, lack of support from society for changing gender role myths, career is not fit with family traditions, lack of peer relationship, lack of support from friends regarding career decisions, lack of parent's support for professional pursuits are the support mechanism related barriers being faced by women employees at different stages of career in IT sector. It is recommended that organisation should include women in policy making panels to lend women perspective to them like wellness programmes, women safety at work, etc. They should also be offered child care services that will help them to commit time to work assigned.
