EMERGING SCENARIO OF WORK LIFE BALANCE IN INDIAN CONTEXT – A REVIEW
Keywords:
Work life balance, psychological contractAbstract
After the liberalisation policy of 1990 and with the subsequent removal of cap on FDI, MNC’s entered Indian industrial circle tremendously. This resulted in increase in pressure for all the industries of the sector to work with greater thrust to maintain the survival by increasing the production levels along with maintaining quality. In order to attain these targets with the existing infrastructure, employees had to work after the normal working hours to complete the day’s work. The hours in a day remaining the same i.e. 24, the employees have to save time from other activities which are mainly of their home and social circle which has resulted in the allocation of more time on work and less towards home/ society. As such the work front has sustained the external threat and the home front has suffered and come to back foot and as such disturbed the work life balance.
