Abstract: Women in India have proven their worth and courage in the work domain. Besides, changing roles of working women, they have maintained the traditional work ethos of household, and they also have managed their career values, although they face different psychological and social problems. This research is an attempt towards finding the relationship between career values and psychological and social problems. Stratified sampling technique was applied to collect the data of 300 respondents from Ludhiana of Punjab to test the relationship of career values and psycho-social problems of working women. Negative correlation was found between career values and psycho-social problems with a significant impact of psychological and social problems on career values of working women. Organisations should develop a mechanism in which the psychological and social of working women should be addressed which arise due to their dual role, non-supportive behaviour of their family, peer groups, colleagues as reported in the present study.
