Abstract

Subject and purpose of work

The research aims to empirically test the influence of career satisfaction, the work-family interface, and individuals’ well-being on the quality of work-life (QWL) of women faculty at the university level in Himachal Pradesh (India). Extant literature illustrates a lack of investigation regarding QWL among women teachers in higher education.

Materials and methods

This study focuses on women teachers at Private and Public Universities. The population of the study constitutes female professors working in public and private universities. Based on the responses of 246 respondents a Regression analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to establish the relationship between the quality of work life and independent variables

Results

Career satisfaction, work-life balance, and individual well-being are positively related to QWL.

Conclusions

The research extracts insightful suggestions to the practitioners in the direction of career satisfaction, the work-family interface, well-being, and QWL.
