A Descriptive Study of Work Life Balance, Perceived Stress and Coping Styles in Male and Female Educators

Abstract

This study investigates Work-Life Balance (WLB), Perceived Stress, and Coping Styles among Male and Female Educators. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from a sample of educators through self-report questionnaires assessing WLB, perceived stress levels, and preferred coping mechanisms. The study aims to explore potential gender differences in these variables. The findings provide insights into the challenges educators face in managing their professional and personal lives, the stress they experience, and the strategies they employ to cope with these demands. This research contributes to the existing literature by providing a comparative analysis of WLB, stress, and coping styles within the context of the education profession, highlighting the unique experiences of male and female educators in Kolkata.
