Relationship between Work Engagement and Designation and its Impact on the Work-Life Balance of Working Women in IT Companies of Rajasthan

Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between designations and work engagement, and its impact on the work-life balance of working women in IT companies of Rajasthan. With the increasing participation of women in the IT industry, work-life balance has become a critical concern. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to assess how different designations within IT companies influence levels of work engagement and, in turn, affect work-life balance. The study finds that while higher-level positions are associated with increased work engagement, they also lead to more challenges in maintaining work-life balance. In contrast, lower-level positions offer a better balance, though with less work engagement. The paper concludes by recommending strategies for improving work-life balance, such as flexible work arrangements, better managerial support, and targeted interventions for women in leadership roles.
