Clustering the Dimensions of Role Conflict of Employed Women in IT Sector in Chennai

An important issue facing our society is the changing work and family roles of Indian women. Women today function in multiple roles simultaneously, operating in both work and family domains as a mother, a spouse, a housekeeper and also maintain a full-time employment outside the home. The relationship between these roles has thus become a topic of interest among organisational researchers. The study is conducted to segment the various dimensions of role conflict based on its magnitude. Cluster analysis is administered to carry out the said objective. A sample size of 598 is identified, and with the application of statistical tools, the findings of the study are discussed.
