But in the present dynamic organisational environment women employees face difficulty in keeping their job and home domains equal and stable. Therefore, the present study looks into the factors that influence job-home balance (JHB) of women employees working in India. The sample considered for the study composes of 360 women employees in India working in different service sectors such as banking, education, insurance, medical and BPO. Using a structured questionnaire, the data is collected and analysed through factor analysis, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that JHB is influenced by the factors such as demographic variables, job environment, nature of job, personal relationship, personal wellbeing and stress management. Also, these factors have showed a significant and strong relationship with JHB.
