Abstract

We the group RIPTIDE of the 2nd batch of Department of Management Studies of Jahangirnagar University have conducted this research on ‘The current status of work life balance in banking industry of Bangladesh’.  Objective of this study was to find out the present scenario of work life balance in banking sector and test some presumed hypothesis.  For this study we have taken 90 bank employees as sample.  Among which 66 were male and 24 were female. For conducting this research we have collected information through structured questionnaire and for analyzing we used IBM SPSS version 23.  This study shows that most of the banks of Bangladesh do not have proper policy for work life balance so employees are feeling work and family life conflict and these problems are more visible among those who have dependents.  It also shows that the work life balance is not as much important to the respondents who are unmarried and do not have anyone dependent on them.  This research recommends developing specific policy of work life balance, creating awareness about this policy to the employers of the bank because making a balance between work life and personal life is a critical issue for both male and female employees.
