Abstract

In this study an attempt is made to investigate the problems and opportunities that professional women experience in India. The present research findings suggest that there is a difference of opinion about the ‘emotional and job drifter’ concept about women among the working population. They are not treated at par with men and have to overachieve to come into the limelight in organizations. They are also found to be loyal and committed to their work and as keen as men to hold their jobs.
