Work Life Integration among It Professionals in Chennai: An Empirical Investigation

Work Life Integration evokes a binary opposition between work and life. In fact, the traditional image of a scale associated with work/life balance creates a sense of competition between the two elements. Work Life Integration is seen as an approach that creates more synergies between all areas that define "life": work, home/family, community, personal well-being and health. People spend most of their waking time at work. Therefore, the quality of life at work influences their overall wellbeing. With increasing competition and demand on performance on a daily basis, the globalised market-based industrial environment has led to dehumanising the workplace. The primary objective of this research is to identify the constructs influencing Work Life Integration among IT professionals in Chennai. The research is empirical in nature. Based on the viability and statistical significance of the constructs and the relative good fit of the model (CFI, GFI, AGFI, RMSEA), it is concluded that the thirteen factor model shown in figure 1 represents an adequate description of constructs influencing work life integration and these are within the acceptability of structural model.
