Abstract
Individuals encounter more conflict between work life and personal life as they continue to engage in the quality life that they need. Thus, successfully balancing work and family life is one of the major issues being faced by the employees in this global epoch. The present study was designed to assess the relationship between work related variables and wok life balance, and sought to determine the most significant predictors of work life balance among police personnel in Himachal Pradesh (HP). The study was conducted through the sample of 166 Non-gazetted Police Officers (NGOs) of Grade-I employed in HP (India). Data collected was analyzed with the help of SPSS 21 and statistical tools viz. Pearson correlation coefficient and Independent sample t-test were used. The findings of the study showed that there is significant correlation between various work-related variables and work life balance of police personnel. Work support and work role overload were the most influential factors in explaining the work life balance of police personnel followed by work ambiguity, task variety, work autonomy and work schedule flexibility.
