Achieving The Perfect Work-life Balance Among Businesswomen in Bahrain

Abstract

Women have achieved great success in penetrating all fields at the social level, businesses, innovations and industries and have been able to compete with men in achieving the top positions in various sectors while maintaining her position as a mother and housewife. (Clark, 2013) Moreover, achieving a balance between work and home management is one of the challenges women face today. The work life balance is really difficult to be managed, especially in the presence of infants who need special care with a lack of cooperation from many employers, a large number of studies conducted on woman's samples from the Middle East and related to the balance
between work and home indicated that 37% of employers support working women to achieve balance between work and home, indicating that 63% of employers have no desire to cooperate with working women's, thus increasing the difficulties and challenges of achieving balance between work and home life. (Friedman & Greenhaus, 2014).
