Abstract

This study aims to investigate the work-life balance among school teachers in Madurai City, Tamil Nadu, India. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods. A survey of 30 school teachers from various schools in Madurai City revealed that teachers experience moderate to high levels of work-life conflict.The results showed that factors such as workload, lack of autonomy, and poor organizational support significantly affected teachers' work-life balance. Additionally, qualitative data from interviews with 14 teachers highlighted the impact of societal expectations, family responsibilities, and personal values on their work-life balance.The study's findings suggest that school administrators, policymakers, and teachers themselves must work together to create a supportive work environment that promotes work-life balance. Recommendations include flexible scheduling, professional development opportunities, and employee wellness programs.
