Abstract

The present study intended to spotlight the challenges facing women administrators for maintaining work-life balance in five administrative titles i.e. school administration, college administration, university administration, social administration and corporate administration in and around Tiruchirappalli District and the general details of the respondents. Descriptive design was used to provide the answer to the current research problem to describe the existing situation prevailing in the study area.  Simple random sampling method was adopted and 100 women administrators were selected and distributed questionnaires and only 75 respondents’ responses were found suitable for the present research. Diverse approaches involving face to face interaction, observation and questionnaire techniques were used.  Thirty four items in four different categories such as Work- related challenges, Personal challenges, Social challenges and Physical challenges were used through self-prepared Questionnaire. As per the present study many problems such as community faith that women are best family administrators than social administrators, gender discrimination, poor family support for doing works and difficulty in managing work and family responsibilities were common to all women administrators. But some challenges are related to their age, marital status and experiences of the women administrators.
