Exploring Gendered Patterns of Work-Life Balance and Their Impact on Life Satisfaction among College Teachers in Odisha

Abstract This study examined gender differences in work–life balance (WLB) and their implications for life satisfaction among college teachers in Odisha, India. Grounded in role theory and work–family conflict and enrichment frameworks, the study focused on three dimensions of WLB: work interference with personal life (WIPL), personal life interference with work (PLIW), and personal life enhancement (PLE). A total of 240 college teachers (120 males and 120 females) participated in the study. Data were collected using standardized measures of work–life balance and life satisfaction. Independent samples t-tests, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed significant gender differences across all dimensions of WLB. Female teachers reported higher levels of WIPL and PLIW, indicating greater inter-role conflict, whereas male teachers reported higher levels of PLE, suggesting greater positive spillover between life domains. Correlation analysis indicated that WIPL and PLIW were negatively associated with life satisfaction, while PLE was positively associated with life satisfaction for both genders. Notably, these relationships were stronger among female teachers. Regression analysis further demonstrated that WLB dimensions accounted for a greater proportion of variance in life satisfaction among female teachers compared to male teachers, with PLE emerging as the strongest positive predictor. The findings highlight the gendered nature of work–life experiences in the teaching profession and underscore the importance of both reducing conflict and enhancing enrichment to improve well-being. The study emphasizes the need for gender-sensitive institutional policies and supportive work environments that facilitate effective work–life integration, particularly for female educators.
