Abstract

A diverse workforce is innovative and women are equally contributing to the country’s economic development along with men. In a dynamic business community, women are more enthusiastic and progressively using their potential for financial growth and providing benefits to their families as well. In the subcontinent, women also participate in the workforce and contribute to improving their quality of life and financial responsibilities. The objective of current research is to find out the relationship between emotional health, positive life orientation, and work-life balance in professional married women. A correlational research design and purposive sampling strategy were utilized to conceptualize the study. A total of 300 professional married women who served in various positions in different organizations were selected. Standardized instruments were used to measure study variables along with sociodemographic Performa. Statistical findings of the study revealed a significant positive relationship between emotional wellness, positive life orientation, and work-personal life enhancement ( ∗∗∗p < 0.01,  ∗∗p < 0.1,  p < 0.05) by using Pearson product-moment correlation. Mediation through PLS revealed that positive life orientation mediates the relationship between emotional wellness and work-life balance. Independent Sample T-test results also revealed that working women living in the nuclear family system have higher work interference with personal life and personal life interference with work than those women who live in a joint family system. This research will be helpful for organizations to design a conducive and women-friendly job environment and use women’s potential for constructive and productive professional growth and organizational progress.

多样化的劳动力具有创新性,女性与男性一样为国家的经济发展做出贡献。在一个充满活力的商业社会中,妇女更有热情,并逐步发挥她们的潜力,促进经济增长,同时也为她们的家庭带来福利。在次大陆,妇女也加入了劳动力大军,为提高生活质量和经济责任做出了贡献。本研究的目的是找出已婚职业女性的情绪健康、积极生活取向和工作与生活平衡之间的关系。本研究采用了相关研究设计和目的性抽样策略。共选取了 300 名在不同组织中担任不同职位的已婚职业女性。使用标准化工具和社会人口学表格来测量研究变量。研究的统计结果显示,情绪健康、积极生活取向和工作-个人生活提升(∗∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.1, ∗p < 0.05)之间存在显著的正相关关系。通过 PLS 进行的中介分析表明,积极的生活取向对情绪健康和工作与生活平衡之间的关系起中介作用。独立样本 T 检验结果还显示,生活在核心家庭系统中的职业妇女比生活在联合家庭系统中的职业妇女有更高的工作对个人生活的干扰和个人生活对工作的干扰。这项研究将有助于组织设计一个有利的、对女性友好的工作环境,发挥女性的潜力,促进建设性的、富有成效的职业发展和组织进步。
