The study aims to identify how workplace stress and employee behaviour impair the work-life balance of faculty members of Higher Education Institutes in Karachi, Pakistan. This study has included a quantitative survey research design. The study collected 386 sample responses from faculty members using the purposive sampling technique. The PLS-SEM analysis was used for data analysis through SmartPLS version 3.2.9. The results have shown that employee behaviour has a positive and significant effect on ER, IR, and WLB; workplace stress has a positive and significant effect on anxiety; workplace stress has a positive and significant effect on time stress, and workplace stress has a negative and significant effect on work-life balance. Furthermore, the study recommends using person-centered stress management techniques for possible work-life stress and employee well-being. Offering relaxation/care exercise classes, enabling wellness, and supplying facilities, such as gymnasiums, encouraging safe living, healthy eating options, and providing guidance are just a few examples. This study is significant for employee’s well-being because the findings will allow them to understand and negotiate their roles throughout the family and work-life. By understanding the importance of WLB, employees would be able to introspect themselves to cope with their job and relationship management. Similarly, management can identify career stages and help employees with the development tasks they experience at each stage. Lastly, the study implications accentuate that by formulating appropriate strategies, management can help employees and retain them as essential organizational assets.

Despite the vast research on human resources, little is known about the perspective of perceived organizational support in helping women faculty in professional education to strike the desirable balance between their work and non-work activities. This paper studies the role of Organizational Support in relation to Work-Life Balance of working women. India in general and Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in particular, shows paucity of research conducted in this area. Therefore, this paper empirically examines the influence of these three dimensions on the Work-Life Balance of women faculty at college and university level in Kashmir. The results of the study indicated that all the factors were significantly related to a woman’s Work-Life Balance. This means that modern organizations should frame robust organizational policies aimed at supporting and enhancing career development of women professionals at work.

Work life and personal life are almost inseparable. The main objective of the study is to find the factors affecting work-life balance and perception of faculty members towards those factors. Descriptive research has been used for the study. Out of the total population, only two hundred and twenty samples were selected employing multi stage sampling. However, only one hundred seventy four questionnaires were duly used for the study. Reliability and validity has been tested with Cronobah’s Alpha of .710 comprising 23 items. Survey questionnaire as a primary source of data were used. The questionnaire was prepared both in English and Nepali script for the easiness of the respondents. Different statistical technique was used like mean, standard deviation, chi-square test, ANOVA test. The SPSS software was used for coding and output of data. The data output was presented in tabular form. The perceptual difference has been identified on the basis of demographic profile. Individual life at work and with family is not the influencing factors, but the other factors were the important factors affecting work life balance. Perceptual difference on the basis of gender, faculty involvement, designation, age and mode of residence has been noted on work-life balance. Lastly, it is recommended to the administration to develop a separate Human Resource Management Cell to maintain work life balance. Future researchers need to conduct research covering faculty members of different colleges. Factor analysis along with Structural Equation Modeling statistical tools need to be used in future studies too.
