Problems and Challenges Faced by Married Women Conductors in KSRTC with Special Reference to the Malabar Region

Abstract

This study examines the difficulties married female conductors at the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) encounter, with a particular emphasis on the Malabar area. Work-life balance, cultural expectations, and little prospects for job progression are just a few of the challenges these women face in spite of progress made toward gender equality. We examine the impact of these challenges on their work performance and job satisfaction using the correlation method. Furthermore, the research delves into the tactics employed by these facilitators to effectively manage their distinct situations, including time management approaches and support networks. The results show that married female conductors have several challenges, but that these challenges are largely mitigated by their adaptability and perseverance. The study underscores the necessity of legislative initiatives and organizational support in improving the working circumstances for female conductors at KSRTC.
