Investigation of Work-life Balance among Working Women in Perspective of Passion and Career

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to understand how a working woman in the present day handles work-related commitments and personal life including family responsibilities and also manages to pursue a career which she is passionate about to have a smooth career transition. Using a Questionnaire and random sampling, we collected the data from women from the ages 25 to 45 years old. We also spoke to the sample respondents for more insights. The findings show that 52% of the women chose their current job out of interest in it, this clearly shows how passion and full-time job already overlapped. 29% of the women responded that “taking courses” was an active step to transition into that career. This shows that women want to improve their abilities and skills through courses to have a career transition. 61% of the women are not sure about their passion pursuance in retirement, because they don’t want to monetize their passion.
