Abstract
The purpose of this research is to explore and understand the factors that
enable some career women successfully balance both career and family roles.
This research adopted an exploratory research approach into finding the
contributing factors through online surveys, questionnaires, and interviews.
The research revealed that career women in Ghana balance their work and
family roles under four main themes; external help, proper planning,
maintaining good relationships with supervisors and subordinates, as well as
the flexible schedules of their jobs.
It is recommended that organizations should have a friendly environment
and policies that encourage good communication between employees,
employers. This healthy relationship is believed to enable career women talk
about issues they face at home and work to their employees and colleges
who give them assistance when needed. From the research findings, most
women admitted the concrete support from their husbands was a major
factor in balancing work and family roles. Therefore this research
recommends a national awareness campaign to sensitize other husbands to
equally contribute with the upkeep of the home.
