Abstract
The study analyzes the effect of
patriarchal values on work-life
balance efforts of urban working
women. It seeks to find out if the
work-life balance efforts of the
urban working women led to
wellbeing. It is a qualitative study
carried out in triads consisting of
the respondent (woman), her
spouse or a significant family
member and an office colleague.
NVIVO and DICTION were used
for analysis. The study showed
that Indian women upheld patriarchal
values. To manage their
occupations women showed their
preference for a joint family over
the nuclear family. Women
handled work-life balance but the
effort led to stress. Work gave
them respect as an earning family
member. Their motivation to continue
to work gave them different
coping methods.
