Abstract
Background: The connection between Work life fit and individual and structural outcomes has sparked interest among academicians and practitioners, alike. However, in developing countries like Pakistan, such initiatives are far from satisfactory. This makes it especially difficult for female employees, to effectively manage their personal and occupational pursuits. Most ‘opt-out’ of their careers, while others who continue to work, suffer from role-conflict. Purpose: The research primarily aimed to study the relationship between Work-life balance and Organizational Commitment of Millennial women professionals and explore how their professed satisfaction with their work-life concerns affected their commitment to their respective organizations. Differences in Work-life balance and Organizational Commitment across demographic and occupational groups were also observed. The prevalence of various work-life initiatives, their importance and associated issues were also looked into. Design and Methodology: A quantitative research design, with a deductive approach was deployed. Millennial female professionals employed in Banking, Telecom, Health and Higher education, acted as participants for this study. Convenient sampling was adopted and survey was administered for data collection. Quantitative research techniques such as Regression and ANOVA were deployed for data analysis. Implications: This research acts as a preliminary base that calls for further extensive work in this domain. It addresses the gap in research on work-life issues faced by millennial women in an eastern setting and provides meaningful insights for policy architects and human resource managers in gaining long-term commitment of their women workers by way of addressing their work-life needs and contribute overall to societal well-being.
