| Introduction | Working culture for corporate has taken a “U” turn in the prevailing
pandemic, whereas that of teachers is yet to be known. When, it comes to female
teachers, in many of the cases, the situation has worsen. In, many of the
instances, it has been found that the unlock period comes as an invitation
session for teachers, to school. Now, the teachers, go to school and deliver
virtual sessions. Though, there is no concrete evidence, to describe the need
to call for the virtual session but it is seen that, the management considers,
the effective deliverance from the school. It’s virtuous that the pandemic has led to steep increase of inflation and
to sustain both the genders equally need to work. On the other hand, for the
females it becomes tedious to move out and work as they have a family to look
after and kids to nurture. Many might, come to a conclusion where they would suggest, the resignation
of the female teacher but, do remember when it comes to, the concept of “Mother
Teacher”, implementation of Pre –KG, Nursery won’t be possible without them.
It’s time when, a concern and analysis over the working culture and work
station be done to find a conclusion and build a conducive atmosphere for
females. Imparting education without, females is going to be a nightmare. |

| Review of Literature | Review of
literature helps researcher to find out the research gap of existing research
article and researcher tries to fulfill the gap through his own research. The researcher
found, the following literatures to be considered. Bird (2003) In the study researcher
has concluded that the work life changes on the personal requirements and
efficiency. The work life of a married can’t , be same to an unmarried. It
changes when one attains the pleasure of becoming a father or a mother. Lockwood (2003) In the study,
the researcher has concluded that work life balance is a state of equilibrium
where a person has sufficient time for his paid works and family. None of them,
try to occupy the places of each other. Visser,F.&Williams,L.(2006) In the study
researcher has concluded that work life balance means , to control over when ,
where and how a person works. To attain, it the individual needs to be paid
well and should earn even an honor and respect in society. Kelsey-sugg
Anna(2008) In the study
researcher has concluded that the work balance helps to maintain and increase
the productivity of employees. If work load, is kept minimal (or) less the
employees turn to shoulder responsibilities. This turns to be a productive
aspect for the organization. Kinman,G.&McDowall,A.(2009) In the study
researcher has concluded that the need of managing work life with personal life
is utmost important. Only when a person is able to manage his personal and
professional life, he can attain a sense of peace and calmness, just running
behind his paid work would lead to a state of chaos in his personal life and he
won’t be able to attain mental peace. Tomlinson
Jennifer & Durbin Susan (2010) In the study,
the researcher concluded that a woman can get its basic need fulfilled with
even a part time job but it won’t be sustainable. For sustainability, the woman
prefers a good job, which means for here a job that provides security and a
good amount of money with on time increment. Asiedu-Appiah
et al (2013) In the study,
the researcher has concluded that the working environment changes time – to –
time. Economic condition, stability, security are the major cause of
determining, the working environment. If a person feels and finds secure with
his work profile and is satisfied with his salary, its quite obvious, he will
be comfortable and at state of ease. Anwar Jamil et.
al (2013) In the study,
the researcher has concluded that he work life balance is attained when the
professional and personal life of a person is in equilibrium. If from anywhere,
a sense of pressure arises, the task couldn’t be attained and will hamper, the
productivity as well as the mental peace of a person. Kim Hye Kyoung (2014) In the study, the researcher has concluded that the commitment of a person towards his paid works, help him to attain or complete the assigned targets within the stipulated time, then after he has sufficient time for the rest of his works. |

| Methodology | Using a google form a questionnaire was prepared and data of
200 female teachers working in private school in and around the district of
Ranchi was collected. After the collection of data, the analysis was done and a
descriptive study was conducted, to conclude form the collected data. |

| Result and Discussion | Pillars of
education to be strong. Indulge, learn
and remember, the concept where a child actually grows and the formula for a
kids school to facilitate their stakeholders. Expecting, a male to deliver
session in Pre- KG and Nursery is going to be a nightmare, the motherly
connectivity, instigates inclination of kids to latter and the concept is
grabbed by former. So, active
involvement of female teachers is required to ensure, for smart and effective
deliverance of the concepts. Standing for long hours, with the same kids,
managing over strengthened classrooms are a few out of bunches of problems. All
such bunches are managed by the lady teacher efficiently, but the in-return, too
should be splendid, regular intervals, bi –weekly breaks and smart gears in
classrooms are needed, to enable the female teachers to deliver smartly,
efficiently. This will reduce the burden on them and even kids too would be
gaining a lot. To lower mental
pressure level. “Brain” reason
for all grudges and grumbleness. A counseling session would foster a lot to
lower down strain level of the teachers. A lady is very sensitive to her child
and family, understanding it, the management of private schools should go for a
group medical insurance and ensure free medical aids, if needed. On time salary
disbursal, regular skill orientation session, appraisal based increment and
free education to staff wards can be used as a medium to facilitate, the female
teachers to lower their stress level. The measure will also help the management
gain, the faith of female teachers and obviously, the dedication and
outcome would be efficient. To help a
family increase its income. The more
members earn, higher is the income of a family. For females, they are even
satisfied with a part time job, providing them a skill horning and good paid
one will actually make them feel secure. It will not foster in fulfilling, the
demands of their family, they will willing turn up to lend their shoulders for
responsibilities.
The more is shoulder lending, higher is task grabbing capacity, more efficient is the outcome. |

| Findings | The mathematical analysis depicted that 0.87 female responded to the questions and out of 0.75 stated that need for a conducive workplace was must, 0.39 considered that part time job was sufficient to fulfill the basic needs of their own but not good to run a family whereas 0.63 were looking for a job that would take them out of 09 – 05 and provide them a platform to complete the task as per their working wishes. | ||||||
| Conclusion |
In the
prevailing pandemic, it’s necessary for both the male and a female of a family
to work. The sky rocketing inflation,
and no saving has been a warning that the influx of money should be hiked,
failing to do so may lead to a knock out from the middle class stream. In this
study it has been found that a lady has to undergo and fight many traumas of
nature and man created, it’s necessary that she be given a proper working time
with flexibility. The targets be given but instead of assigning 09 – 05 job, it
would be better, if flexibility in working hours is provided. This will not
only lend her a free hand to complete the task with cent percent perfection and
dedication, this will also help the organization to find and enhance the
creativity. Mostly, in the cities like Ranchi, a lady is considered to be a
house material where she needs to look after the needs of a family and cater to
it, this myth has to be covered and an environment has to be provided for her. The basic needs
of a woman can be fulfilled with a part time job but it the organizations need
to understand that to retain, the talented minds, lucrative offers from the
employers end has to be rolled out. Special schemes
of work from home, day care for babies, get together of colleagues with family
is all what an employer can do, to rope and retain the female employees. With
sabbatical, sick and menstural leave policy should be accepted where a female
can be shown leniency, to combat her mental and hormonal anxieties.
Though, it may sound odd but if implemented will surely help to have a healthy and productive workplace. |
