Abstract: Carol Ryff (1988) proposed well being model with six components -Self acceptance, Purpose in life, Personal growth, Positive relation with others, Environmental mastery, Autonomy. Parenting style is a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in their child rearing which influences psychological well being of adolescents. The most consistent predictor of adolescent mental health and well being is the quality of relationship adolescents have with their parents (Resnic et al., 1997). Problems in parenting arise due to lack of skills, so parents can be trained in parenting (life skills training)..........

Abstract: Of late, the global work scene has witnessed feisty efforts by managerial protagonists to revamp the jobs with a view to have amplified job involvement. This is apparently based on the belief that job involvement is conducive not only to efficiency but also employees' self-fulfilment. Work and the workplace accentuates many issues related to organizational psychology including job satisfaction, job involvement, quality of work life, motivation and leadership and the physical and mental health of workers. Job involvement and job stress have, therefore, emerged as an important set for research...........

Abstract: The process of globalization, export oriented industrialization and relocation of industries from the developed to developing countries lead to increase in women workers in unorganized sector. The nature of women's work ranges from wage employment or self-employment, family labour and piece rated work. The unorganized sector has no clear-cut employer-employee relationships and lacks most forms of social protection. Having no fixed employer, these workers are casual, contractual, migrant, home based, own-account workers who attempt to earn a living from whatever meager assets and skills they possess. Skilled and unskilled construction workers work with low wages.............

Abstract: The fundamental changes in the structure of work and family roles namely dual earner couples, the influx of women into the workforce and the increasing family responsibilities that deviate from the traditional gender-based roles make the work life balance a challenging task for women. In spite of extensive researches in Work-life policies for women in IT sectors by different organizations, no such researches have been conducted for women in healthcare, banks, hotel and education etc. The purpose of this study was to find out the various issues faced by women while meeting organizational and personal goals and thereby suggest methods to overcome these issues.
