| Abstract | The main purpose of this study is to determine the hindrances found in work-life balance among genders in Service Industry. Data is comprised of 250 samples out of which 10 were discarded due to provide wrong information however rest of 240 was used for the analysis out of which 120 are males and the rest 120 are females. To test the reliability of constructs SPSS Software version 21.0 is used and calculated through Cronbach Alpha. Frequency test, Cross-tabulation, Graphical representation, Correlation, and Regression analysis were used for data analysis. Findings show that the organizations used in the study did not give any support to work-life balance ideas. These organizations promote overtime and extended working hour culture. Even male employees are unable to meet their family demands due to late sittings and are found carrying stress-related diseases most commonly headaches.
