Abstract
The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between demographic factors and work-life balance (WLB) among police personnel of Himachal Pradesh. The study further examines differences in work-life balance of police personnel at varied levels of demographic factors. The demographic factors considered in the present study are age, gender and marital status. This study was conducted through the sample of 781 Non Gazetted Police Officers (NGOs) of Grade-II employed in Himachal Pradesh. The collected data has been analyzed with the help of SPSS 21. The study found that the demographic factors like age and gender has a significant relationship with work-life balance of police personnel. Police personnel of the lower age group face more difficulty in balancing the demands of work and other domains of life in comparison to police personnel of higher age group. No difference was found between married and unmarried police personnel with regard to work-personal life balance. Work interference with personal life was found less in case of male police personnel (WIPL, M=27.50) than female police personnel (WIPL, M=25.61).
