Abstract: 
A significant quantity of stress and anxiety is caused, as a consequence, as a result of employees having to try to balance the demands of work and family in their lives, which results in a significant amount of job-related stress and anxiety. Work-related conflicts are a very common occurrence among employees as the result of job stress, making it one of the biggest problems in the world for employees as a result of job stress, due to the fact that there are so many types of conflicts. It is true that employees who are able to maintain a balance between their work and family lives have the ability to apply the positive behaviors they have learned from their personal lives to their work lives, but the authors of this paper found out by conducting a survey that there is still room for improvement in this area. As part of the literature review, a number of studies related to gender have been conducted over the past few years, the majority of which have focused on the impact of gender on the work-family balance in the workplace. The availability of several gender-related studies on this subject has been noted in the literature, and several of them are in progress. A lot needs to be determined in terms of whether or not men find it difficult to balance work and family responsibilities in the same way as women, or if they in fact are experiencing a bit of an advantage in this sense over their female counterparts.
