Purpose: Work Life Conflict (WLC) is considered to be an important issue in today‟s business worldas it is directly linked to Job satisfaction. However, there is a need to explore the subject vis-à-vis teachers and Doctors .Taking in consideration the increasing cases of work life problems among teachers and Doctors. Thus, the purpose of this study is to map the phenomenon of WLB among teachers and Doctors. Design/methodology/approach: The present study tries to examine the work life conflict and job satisfaction among doctors and university teachers in the cultural context of India. The study is conclusive, descriptive and based on single cross sectional design. Quantitative data was generated to test the research hypotheses. Medical college doctors and teachers of a Central University in India were personally contacted and 100 filled questionnaires were received. Reliability and validity were tested, Factor Analysis, test of differences (independent sample t-test and one way Anova was deployed. Findings: The key findings of the study show that work life conflict has a negative relationship with job satisfaction among doctors and teachers and it also reveals that the respondents who have work life conflict are not satisfied with their jobs and they felt more dissatisfied when their work hinders with their family life. Teachers are found to have higher level of work life balance and job satisfaction than other doctors, but are neutral about their commitment to the job; thus satisfaction does not necessarily strongly equate with job commitment. Managerial Implications:This study may provide insight regarding the problem that employees usually face with their work and life. Organizations should adopt family friendly policies aimed to help employee reduce their conflict and between work and life and attain job satisfaction. Research Limitations: The study is based on a limited sample size. There is a need to carry out studies with a larger sample size to make results more generalizable.
