Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Due to economic circumstances and social demands the role of working women has changed in developing countries, like Bangladesh. For this reason, women have tremendous pressure to develop a career as strong as their male counterparts while sustaining active participation in personal life. The ever-increasing pressure in the workplace makes it completely difficult for women to get quality time for their family. This creates negative impact on women’s physical, emotional and social well-being. Thus, attaining work life balance is essential for working women to have a good quality of professional and personal life. This study attempts to explore the role of family support to balance the work life and reduce the job stress for female employees in Bangladesh. The study also focuses on the impact of family support to maintain work life balance and reduce job stress. The finding of the study reveals that family support is the most important issue for working women to continue a healthy professional as well as personal life especially in case of married women. It is also visible that family support has an opposite relationship with job stress.
