The primary objective of this research paper is to examine the impact of work-life balance on the commitment and motivation levels of women employees in the higher education sector in India. Women are increasingly experiencing a mental state characterised by stress due to the dilemma they face in choosing between prioritizing their home responsibilities and pursuing career progress. The demographic most significantly impacted by this phenomenon consists of women employed in highly demanding occupations, particularly within the education sector. The primary aims of this research were to elucidate the impact of work-life balance on the levels of job satisfaction and commitment among female employees. Historically, women were predominantly limited to occupying formal employment roles such as secretarial positions, teaching, nursing, and similar fields. Numerous studies have revealed a correlation between the utilization of working hours and a reduced incidence of conflict among employees who avail themselves of childcare centres, referral services, and other family-related resources. The current study aims to investigate the outcomes of an empirical analysis pertaining to the challenges encountered by women in achieving work-life balance. The analysis of the collected data unveiled several concerns pertaining to the maintenance of work-life balance. Notably, it was observed that women encounter challenges in effectively managing cultural expectations, job performance, and issues stemming from their peer groups. This study examined the effects of work-life balance factors on employee commitment within the education sector. The analysis reveals that several factors, such as the working environment, decision-making authority, personal role, work support, and conflict with colleagues, exert a substantial influence on employee commitment within the education sector.
