摘要：This paper is to discuss a basic model of work-life balance for married women working in public sector. The model is formulated based surveys received from seventy-six (76) respondents working in various public sectors in Komplek Tun Abdul Razak (KOMTAR) Penang. The study discovered that basically there are two main factors contribute to work-life balance, family related factors and job-related factors. In addition, to achieve work-life balance and to ensure productive and efficient working women, there should be incentives and services provided by the employers and government/non-government agencies to ease the burden of working women both in managing their families and their work. The incentives and services suggested by the respondents are suitable and flexible leave policies, dependent care centres, flexible working hours and work-family activities and support system and also counselling service or employee assistance programme. Since the model is formulated based on a study carried-out only on a small number of respondents, further studies should be carried-out to confirm the model or to up-grade the model. However, the model can be a basic model for more detail and comprehensive model of work-life balance for working women in Malaysia in future.
