Abstract

The main agenda behind this study is to know about the impact of work life on social life that is, to make comparison between two categories of people working 5 and 6 days a week. The impact will be seen on both males and females. It is the general observation and has also been proved that the person who works for 5 days a week is more relaxed and congenial to social life than one who works for 6 days. A qualitative and quantitative research has been done to know about the facts related to working hours on social life. This study revealed the fact that there is need of relaxed working hours to have positive impact on social life. A work life balance is vital to maintain in Pakistan.

Key words: employees, working hours, flexible work, work life balance, social life.
