Conflicting Role Demands: Work-family Balance and Daily Life Coping Strategies Employed by Pakistani Female Army Doctors Posted at Military Hospital, Rawalpindi
The article focuses on the conflicting role demands of female army doctors and their coping strategies to manage the pressure. From this research, it should be clear that working women face challenges because in Pakistani society it is difficult for women to do a job but still majority of women present who work. These working women face difficulties in managing their work-life. Previous literature indicates that women face hurdles due to their multiple roles in society. The army job is more demanding as compared to others and due to higher demand of this job, women face many problems.To cope with conflicting roles they use different strategies to manage their work and family pressure. Some female doctors use gifts to reduce their problems, some arranged multiple gatherings in their free time to manage the pressure, and some facilitate their families with their wages to continue their job efficiently.
