Work Life Balance (WLB) is a concept that is important in all spheres of life whether it is political, economic or social as it has been associated with individuals, families and institutions. Work life balance is not only about families and childcare nor it is about working less, it’s about working smart, giving whatever, you need for both work and home without jeopardizing one for the other and it's necessary for everyone whatever stage one is in life. Hence, there is a need to take into consideration various aspects of family and job and to ascertain to what extent the factors related to work and family help in the attainment of a good life. The building blocks of any society or country are teachers and the teaching profession. The present research paper aims to construct a theoretical framework with regard to WLB of people in the teaching area. The paper aims to identify the variables affecting the WLB of an individual and the variables which define the impact of WLB on individuals in teaching with regard to their life, family and organization with the support of existing literature. Identification of such variables and developing hypotheses thereupon would provide a better insight to understand the problems and expectations of teachers. The working environment and job requirements have become so complex now-a-days in colleges of higher education that the pressure on the teachers juggling with career growth to meet academic standards, has made it difficult for them to achieve work life balance. Measuring the factors affecting the work life balance of teachers in higher education with the help of theoretical framework has certain policy implications for those, who are constantly involved in developing strategies to combat the adverse work life balance situations.
