Over the past few years, worklife balance has evolved into a matter of significant concern. Both men and women strive to achieve a steady professional and personal life. In reality, women are more prone to experiencing such challenges. The paper attempted to understand worklife balance among Anganwadi workers (women-dominant centres). The research focused on the impact of job satisfaction, work overburden, workplace support, family support, and dependent care on the worklife balance of Anganwadi workers. For the purpose of the study, a structured questionnaire was administered to 467 participants. Statistical technique used for the study was regression model. The results indicated that workplace support and family support had a positive impact on the worklife balance among Anganwadi workers. The findings also suggested that work overburden and dependent care had a negative impact on worklife balance. The results also contradicted the hypotheses by portraying that job satisfaction was not a significant factor that impacted the worklife balance among Anganwadi workers. However, many other variables such as emotional intelligence, job autonomy, turnover intention, absenteeism, and work engagement that could potentially impact worklife balance were not taken into consideration. 2020, Associated Management Consultants Pvt.
