The covid pandemic has led to a drastic loss of human life in the global level and presents a never before experienced challenges to public health, food systems and the world of work. The interruption in the flow of economic and social activities caused by the pandemic is ruining: tens of millions of people are at risk that they may falling into extreme destitution, while the number of unhealthful people, currently estimated at nearly around 690 million, could increase by up to 135 million by the end of this year. Millions of corporate businesses face an existential threat. Nearly 50% of the world’s 3.3 billion worldwide workforce are at risk of losing their livelihoods. Informal economy (An informal economy is the portion of any economy that is neither taxed nor monitored by any form of government) workers are particularly in dangerous situation because the majority of them lack in social protection and access to proper health care and have lost access to productive capital. Without the means to earn an income during drastic pandemic situation, many are unable to feed themselves and their families. For most, no income creates devastating stress, it will lead to imbalance between professional life and personal life. It has been the
worst of times for teachers. The Covid-19 pandemic has taken away that which
makes teachers who they are teaching. Sitting before screens endlessly and
interacting with sounds and images of students is not what they bargained for.
Teachers standing before a class and speaking before a hundred gaping eyes, and
a hundred more eager ears ensure the adrenalin rush and performance anxiety.
The challenge of stage, the fright of being on a platform and delivering
knowledge, but not knowledge alone, prepares the mold
of a teacher. A mold made out of hard discipline and
soft wonder. In pandemic stimulated circumstances, the stage that moved
teachers on a pedestal, literally so, has evaporated into thin viral air and
the mold of discipline has disintegrated to listless
routine. 2. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY ·
To study about the post covid impacts faced by private
college faculty members ·
To analyze how they used to
stabilize the work – life balance. ·
To find the stress level of the faculty members after the
pandemic surge. 3. SCOPE OF THE STUDY The scope of the study is to analyze work load, stress level, remuneration, satisfaction
level of job role and personal life of the private college faculty members and
how they handle their work-life balance during the covid widespread situation.
The study was conducted in Tiruchirappalli district, which is the central part
of Tamil Nadu state. More than 30 private colleges are situated in
Tiruchirappalli district. We can develop this study to be suited for the other
districts or states private colleges or even other private institutions like
universities, schools. 4. RESEARCH DESIGN Research design is the framework of all
existing research methods and techniques chosen by a researcher. The design
allows researchers to be acute and intense in on research methods that are
suitable for the subject matter and set up their knowledge up for success. The
research topic design expounds the type of research (that is
experimental, semi-experimental, survey research, correlational, , or review) and also its sub-type ( that is experimental
design, descriptive case-study, or research related problem). There are
three main types of designs for research: Data collection,
measurement, and analysis. The type of research problem an organization is
facing will determine the research design and not vice-versa. The design phase
of a study determines which tools to use and how they are used. 5. SAMPLE DESIGN About
140 responses were collected. The primary data was collected through the
questionnaire designed exclusively for the study. Various questions related to
the variables were selected and the responses were collected through online
form. 6. METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION The data were collected from primary
data. The primary data were collected by using snowball method of collection
from the private college faculties through google forms. Secondary data were
taken from websites, journals, and research papers. 7. STATISTICAL TOOLS USED Frequency analysis and One way
ANOVA test was used to conduct F test. 8. SOFTWARE PAKAGEGE USED: SPSS Statistical Package for Social Sciences software had been used to conduct the study analysis. 9. ANALYSIS Frequency Analysis 1)
GENDER ANALYSIS
Interpretation The
above pie chart shows that out of 100% respondents, 67% were male and 33% were
female. 2)
EXPERIENCE ANALYIS
Interpretation The
above pie chart shows that 67% of the respondents has less than 5 years of
experience, 17% of respondents has more than 10 years of experience, 12% of respondents
has less than 10 years of experience and 4% of respondents has no experience. F TEST ANALYSIS 1)
Gender and work life
balance H0: There is no significant
relationship between gender and work- life balance H1: There is a significant relationship
between gender and work-life balance
Interpretation: The above output
shows that there is a significant relationship among the variables. By
referring the F table, the critical F value was 1. As per the rule, if P value
less than alpha value and F critical value lesser than the F calculated value,
then we can reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. 2)
Experience and salary H0: There is no significant relationship between experience
and salary H1: There is a significant relationship between experience
and salary
Interpretation: The above output shows that there is a significant
relationship among the variables. 3)
Experience and Stress H0: There is no significant relationship between experience
and stress H1: There is a significant relationship between experience
and stress
Interpretation The above output shows that there is a
significant relationship among the variables. If f calculated value is greater
than f calculated value than we have to reject null hypothesis else not. Even
though we have to check the f values, but the main thing is to compare P values
with alpha value (0.05). All the f calculated values are greater than one
except one variance. Also, all the P values are less than the alpha value 0.05
except one variance. From this result, we can reject null hypothesis and accept
the alternative hypothesis (i.e., There is a significant difference between
experience and stress). Findings It is clearly shown that there is a
significant relationship between the variances (As per the Table 3, Table
4, and Table 5). 10. SUGGESTIONS By understanding the situation of
economy recession, the family members of the private college faculty members
should support them to improve the work life balance and reduce the stress
level. 11. CONCLUSION This covid pandemic creates a massive
impact on the education sector, especially private educational institutions
face lot of difficulties. Retrenchment/employee turnover doesn’t a solution for
the problem. Situation teaches a perfect lesson for everyone, the only thing it
often remind us is whatever the situation deemed, we have to survive and
develop an efficient way with alternative to each massive height. REFERENCES Agus Purwanto, Masduki Asbari, Mochammad Fahlevi, Abdul Mufid, Eva Agistiawati, Yoyok Cahyono, Popong Suryani. (2020).
