AB  - Most of the existing literature concentrates on Work-Life Balance (WLB) and many measurement
scales have been developed. But very limited studies have been conducted to assess the Work-Life balance
Culture (WLC). The fact that no such study existed to assess the WLC in Indian context motivated to take up
the present work. Employees of IT organizations of South India were chosen for the study and an
instrument consisting of 20 statements was developed to measure WLC. The data needed was collected
from 852 employees and the developed instrument possessed strong reliability scores and validity.
Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test and Bartlett’s test conducted to check the sampling adequacy and sphericity of the
data yielded acceptable results. Dimensions (factors) were resolved through factor analysis and Pearson
correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses. The study conducted finds
agreement and adds to the existing works by other researchers and identifies the issues for ameliorating the
prevailing situation of WLC in IT organizations.
