“Exploring the Effect of the Differences in Gender and the Marital Status on Work-Family Conflict, Emotional Well-being, and Professional Burnout among Higher Education Teachers”

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate how demographic factors, such as gender and marital status, affect work-family conflict (WFC), emotional well-being (EWB), and professional burnout (PBO) among members of the higher education teaching staff in Sargodha district. This sample should include 400 university/college faculty members selected randomly by a stratified method. Based on a descriptive survey design, the data were gathered to analyse the important angles: demographic differences. The findings showed that demographic disparities play a significant role in determining the levels of stress and burnout experienced by teachers. It has been found that differences found between experiences of WFC, EWB, and PBO have strong variability in response to demographic variables. Work-family conflict was higher in the case of female and married teachers. Such results indicate the necessity of demonstrating the sensitivity of demographic factors in institutional policies and the promotion of faculty well-being programs.
