3. Introduction This study explores the strategies used by female faculty members in commerce colleges of Pune to achieve work-life balance and the challenges they face.

4. Literature Review Challenges Faced by Female FacultyHochschild and Machung (2012) discussed the "second shift" phenomenon, where women, despite working full-time jobs, still handle the majority of household responsibilities. This dual burden creates significant challenges for achieving work-life balance.Lingard and Francis (2006) examined the role of supportive work environments in moderating the relationship between work-family conflict and burnout. Their findings emphasized that lack of institutional support exacerbates the challenges faced by female faculty.4. Strategies for Achieving Work-Life BalanceAryee , Srinivas , and Tan (2005) highlighted effective time management and delegation as crucial strategies for balancing work and family responsibilities. Their research emphasized the importance of prioritizing tasks and seeking support from colleagues and family members.Manfredi and Doherty (2006) identified best practices from top companies in achieving work-life balance. They found that companies with strong support systems, flexible work hours, and wellness programs had higher levels of employee satisfaction and retention.5. Institutional and Societal InfluencesLewis , Gambles, and Rapoport (2007) argued that work-life balance approaches must consider broader societal and cultural contexts. Their research showed that societal expectations and gender roles significantly impact women's ability to balance work and personal life.Sharma and Mishra (2014) investigated women’s perceptions of organizational support in achieving work-life balance. They found that perceived support from employers plays a critical role in how women manage their dual roles.6. Regional and Context-Specific StudiesPillay and Bhagwan (2020) focused on academic staff in South African higher education institutions, revealing unique regional challenges and strategies. Their findings underscored the importance of context-specific research to address local needs and constraints.Wheatley (2012) examined dual-career households and the impact of travel-to-work on work-life balance. His research highlighted the unique challenges faced by dual-career couples and the need for tailored solutions.7. Longitudinal and Comparative StudiesVoydanoff (2004) conducted longitudinal studies on the effects of work demands and resources on work-to-family conflict. Her research provided valuable insights into how these dynamics evolve over time and their long-term impact on employees.Rapoport et al. (2002) compared work-life balance strategies across different types of organizations, identifying key differences and similarities. Their comparative approach offered a nuanced understanding of how various institutional contexts influence work-life balance.

5. RESEARCH STATEMENT Identifying Challenges: The study aims to identify the primary challenges faced by female faculty members in achieving a work-life balance in commerce colleges of Pune. Evaluating Institutional Support: This research evaluates the effectiveness of institutional policies and support systems in aiding female faculty to maintain a work-life balance. Impact of Societal Expectations: The study examines the influence of societal expectations on the work-life balance of female faculty in commerce colleges of Pune.

6. RESERCH GAP Practical Implementation : Research often suggests strategies for improving work-life balance without exploring the practical implementation and effectiveness of these strategies in the specific context of commerce colleges in Pune. There is a need for actionable research that can be directly applied by these institutions .

7. RESERCH OBJECTIVE Consider Intersectional Factors : Investigate how intersectional factors such as age, marital status, parental status, and socio-economic background affect the work-life balance of female faculty in commerce colleges of Pune.

8. METHODOLOGY Sampling Design Questioner Interview Literature Review

However, such arrangements are not widely available in all commerce colleges . Delegation of Duties : Effective delegation of responsibilities both at home and work allows female faculty to focus on high-priority tasks and reduce their overall burden.
