The Impact of Work-Life Balance on Job Satisfaction for Working Women in the Rajasthan Police Force

commerce (Business Administration)

This qualitative study explores the impact of work-life balance on job satisfaction for women employed in the Rajasthan police force. In-depth interviews were conducted with 30 female police officers across different ranks and locations within the state. The findings revealed that managing the demands of work and family responsibilities was a significant challenge for the participants, leading to high levels of stress and burnout. Factors such as lack of flexible work arrangements, inadequate childcare support, and societal expectations around gender roles were identified as key barriers to achieving work-life balance. The study also highlighted the negative impact of this imbalance on the participants' job satisfaction, including decreased motivation, reduced productivity, and impaired work performance. Recommendations for policy changes and organizational interventions to promote better work-life balance and improve job satisfaction among female police officers in Rajasthan are discussed. The implications of this research for supporting the career advancement and overall wellbeing of women in the traditionally male-dominated field of law enforcement are also explored.
