  • Modelling the inter relationship of barriers affecting work-life balance of healthcare professionals   Order a copy of this article
    by Sangita Saha, Saibal Kumar Saha, Ajey Jha 
    Abstract: A happy and content employee can significantly affect the treatment process. Hence, the well-being of healthcare professionals is directly related to the patient treatment process. The research aimed to categorise and model the barriers affecting the work-life balance of healthcare professionals and determine which barriers are most important and which are not. This study uses a TISM-MICMAC approach to comprehend the relationship between various barriers and forecast their influence on the work-life balance of healthcare professionals. The nine most significant barriers were determined based on the opinion of specialists from the healthcare sector. A TISM diagram and MICMAC matrix are constructed using expert opinion. It was found that the barriers increased number of patients and increased demand from top management are at the bottom level of the model. The study will benefit hospital management by framing better policies and keeping in mind the work-life balance of their employees.
    Keywords: work-life balance; WLB; total interpretive structural modelling; TISM; healthcare professional; job burnout; turnover intention.
