This paper examined the causes and effects of work-family conflict among female employees in the education sector in Pakistan, a society where traditional norms make it harder for women to balance their work and family roles. The paper collected primary data from female employees serving in the education sector of Pakistan. The paper found the extended working hours, job rigidity, work overload, child care duty, children’s age, dependent care duty, workplace discrimination, insufficient supervisory support, authoritarian management style, lack of family support, and husband’s absence as the main factors causing the work-family conflict. The study suggested the need for organizational policies and practices that can help reduce work-family conflict and improve the job satisfaction and performance of female employees.
