Coping Ability Influencing Factors for Working Women Quality Life Balance

Abstract

The modern working women are facing difficulty to balance their family and job responsibilities. They are burdened with heavy workload both in the office as well as at home. The role conflicts occur when work role demands interfere with the working women's ability to fulfil home-role demands, or home role demands interfere with their work demands. The difficulties were heightened during the lockdown of Covid-19 pandemic, when home is home as well as office. Thus, the role conflict of the working women would escalate their stress levels. They have to resort to relevant coping strategies to overcome or reduce the stress. They also need to have the necessary knowledge, resources, supports and health from office and home for their coping strategies. Hence, this study investigates the relationship of Knowledge, Resources and Support with Coping strategy among the working women towards achieving work and life balance during MCO amidst Covid-19 pandemic. The findings shows that Health, Knowledge, Resources and Support are positively related to Coping at 0.05 level of confidence. These variables postulated to be moderated indicators that explain 47% of variance in Coping. Since the hypotheses are supported, these indicate a substantial model of the study.
