Abstract
Societies where extended families
are the norm possibly provide a
dissimilar context vis-à-vis western
developed societies where
nuclear families are the norm. A
content analysis on semi-structured
interviews was conducted on
full-time employees who are parttime
students in India, to examine
the impact of support systems at
work and in the family on worklife
interface. The study signifies
the necessity of organizational
support in the form of not only
policies but also supervisory and
peer support for part-time adult
students. Furthermore, in a specific
context like India, where
work-life boundaries tend to be
non-permeable, the role of family
becomes critical for such diverse
group of employees, also creating
a positive spillover effect at times.
