Work-life balance is a challenging issue for every women manager, which touches almost every aspect of her life, including her career, family and health. The present study explores the work-life balance issues and mental health of women managers working in different sector of organizations. The sample comprises 200 Indian women managers (100 from public sector organizations & 100 from private sector organizations) working in different organizations of Delhi and NCR. Analytical strategy included descriptive, t-test, correlation and linear regression analysis on SPSS 21. Results revealed that there is a significant positive correlation of work-life balance with psychological well-being and mental health while there is significant negative correlation of work-life balance with psychological distress of women managers.
