Role Conflict and Women in Organized Sector: A Sociological Inquiry

Abstract

The present research paper is to address role adjustment problems of women workers in organized sectors of Bangalore city, Karnataka State. It has been rationally hypothesized that women workers are at risk of experiencing role conflict by performing multiple roles both at work and family. Role conflict among women would cause negative implications for their functioning as employees and these tend to be addressed by the employer, in this case the organized sectors. In the recent past women in India are still lacking behind in gaining employment opportunities and adjusting with the existing working conditions in organized sectors in particular. It is fascinating to ascertain empirically the extent of role conflict among working women in the organized sectors. At attempt is also made in the study to ascertain the association between length of service, time spent with family and the extent of role conflict among working women. The present investigation is based on data collected from 280 working women, 70 each from teaching, banking, health and government departments in the city of Bangalore. The findings seem to suggest that working women do not get sufficient time to manage household duties on the one hand and increasing pressure at work is preventing them from taking care of their family on the other.
