        abstract = {The social attitude to the role of women lags much behind the law. The attitude which considers women fit for certain jobs and not for others shades those who recruit employees. Thus, the women find employment easily as nurses, doctors, teachers and the caring and nurturing sectors, secretaries or in assembling jobs-the routine submissive sectors. But even if well qualified women engineers or managers or geologists are available, preference will be given to a male of equal qualification. A woman could still bear up with these problems if she had control over the money she earns. But in most families, even now, her salary is handed over to father, husband or in-laws. So, the basic motive for seeking employment of getting independence is nullified in many women’s cases. The present study is carried to explore the real condition of Indian working women and investigates the factors preventing women employees from aspiring for higher posts. It also tries to identify the problems and challenges faced by working women of organized sector in India and at the same time clarify these issues and problems. 
The present research paper is also to address role adjustment problems of women workers in organized sectors of Dehradun city, Uttarakhand State. It has been rationally hypothesized that women workers are at risk of experiencing role conflict by performing multiple roles both at work and family. Role conflict among women would cause negative implications for their functioning as employees and these tend to be addressed by the employer, in this case the organized sectors. In the recent past women in India are still lacking behind in gaining employment opportunities and adjusting with the existing working conditions in organized sectors in particular. It is fascinating to ascertain empirically the extent of role conflict among working women in the organized sectors. At attempt is also made in the study to ascertain the association between length of service, time spent with family and the extent of role conflict among working women. The present investigation is based on data collected from 30 working women, 10 each from teaching, banking, corporate sector in the city of Dehradun. The findings seem to suggest that working women do not get sufficient time to manage household duties on the one hand and increasing pressure at work is preventing them from taking care of their family on the other.},
