Role Conflict of Working Women

As women increasingly gain occupational mobility they are not only exposed to the same physical hazards of work environment as men but also exposed to the pressures created by multiple role demands and conflicting expectations. By fulfilling their economic needs employment has no doubt made women independent with an identifiable social status but it has also made them to juggle into two main domains of life- work and family. They have stepped into work place but the role responsibilities of women still remain the same i.e. women may be a top executive still the “nurturing” or “care giving” roles are considered much a part of feminine roles. Hope this research will be beneficial to understand the role conflict of working women.
