Abstract

Work life balance is always a challenge for employed women due to psychological and social issues. The share of the female work force is marginal not because of mainly low literacy rates but also difficult job environment, lack of security and leisure time and other social issues. The present study was conducted to analyze the problems of working women in non-government organizations in district Mardan (KPK). A total of 100 samples were drawn randomly from the population. The study revealed that due to male domination in organization, women executives are disliked by male colleagues and hence male domination in organization put women at disadvantaged position. At the other hand, woman being an executive is disliked by male colleague. Organizations give special considerations to biological differences specific to woman i.e. maternity. The study concluded that despite the challenges in the working environment for women, confidence of the working women remained high. Women as equal partner to male need to be encouraged in the working environment without any apprehensions of being mistreated. Working women needs to be properly educated through proper trainings to take care of both working environment and family life.
