Main Research

Despite the growing prominence in the work force, working mothers are still found to be juggling hard between work and family responsibilities with their increasing share of dilemmas and disparities. The paper studies the determinants of work life balance of working mothers and the potential sources of stress specific to working mothers and their consequences. The study addresses the main research objective which was to find out solutions to ease the dilemma that a working mother encounters while dividing her energy and capabilities between parenting, work, relationships and self. The survey was conducted in the city of Allahabad and 100 working mothers were surveyed on a structured questionnaire. SPSS software was used to analyze the data with the help of statistical tools like frequency, cross tabulation, chi square and Z test. The major findings of the survey highlighted that working mothers are mostly stressed with their primary responsibility of motherhood to the extent of forgetting one’s own well-being and physical health. The study recommends significant ways to balance work and family and achieve the most desired contentment of a working mother. The study reassures working mothers by reinventing, evolving and transitioning positively through the trials of working motherhood with knowledge, practice, strength and fulfillment. The modern work environment needs to reconsider the special needs of this working population, changing its orientation from male dominance to gender neutrality and parenting friendly behavior. Last but not the least, the family as a whole, needs to adjust accordingly, to the needs of the working mother so as to allow a healthier family to develop and grow consistently.

The Impact

Many new job opportunities have emerged in Mandalay, Myanmar over the last two or three years. As working patterns have changed, many women who have one or more children have been able to enter the work force. At the same time, they still need to take to do domestic and emotional labour such as cooking, washing, buying household goods, caring for children and elderly dependents, sending and collecting children to and from school and so on. However, the rapid growth of the economy that has given rise to tremendous increases in the entry of women to the labour force in addition to maintaining their traditional role as homemaker has also led to more pressure on those women to balance their work and personal life. This study attempts the impact of work life balance on the buying behaviour of working mothers at the executive level in Mandalay. The study is based on a qualitative study of 30 women who are working at the executive level in both public and private sectors. The results of the study include perceptions on work-life balance, the importance of purchasing items for household consumption and strategies for convenient purchasing.
