Give as many as needed.CONCLUSION Women are coming out of the four walls of their homes in search of economic gain and fulfillment of their personal desire. As a result, a significant change has been noticed in the attitude of men and women towards womens education and employment. More and more women have become conscious of their talents and the prospects of making positive contribution to the society. Today many urban women, whether married or not, are coming out to gain-full employment. By stepping outside to work, women have broken the traditional notion of remaining with the four walls of the house. The cultural assumption that the womans place is her home and her calling to serve the interests of her family plays a decisive role in binding women to housework. Several women face a lot of problems in balancing the two roles. The problem most commonly experienced is that of work-overload leading to straining of physical and emotional resources. The second most problems are that the division of domestic labor continues to be based on gender identity and traditional conceptions. Thus women continue to bear the burden of performing crucial domestic chores, despite their employment status. Empowerment of women for organizational effectiveness needs to be seen as a process, which has two phases to be taken care off- the individual phase and the collective phase. Effective career strategies need to be developed by the organizations at the various points of time. Their career development plans need to be worked out, keeping their social obligations in view. This would increase the organizational effectiveness as well as retain the health of the family, as well as that of the society and in turn would help the organizations themselves Make it one page atleast BIBLIOGRAPHYBOOKSH.L.Kila,2005,Women,work and family, Prem Rawant for Rawat Publication, Satyam Apts, sector 3, Jawahar nagar Jaipur 302004.
