Abstract: The aim of this study is to explore the role of work-life balance in the life of emirati women and how it affects job satisfaction and their job retention. Also, it will be discussed what women should do to deal with challenging job nature and maintain family life. It has been noticed that like in Western countries, the women in UAE also face a lot of difficulties in their workplace and at home to deal with work-life balance, especially women who are working in private organizations and facing more significant issues in the UAE. This research also recommended some measures that should be taken by the government as well as by organizations in the UAE, so that women can enjoy their work-life balance and easily bear responsibilities of the family and can significantly work towards their career goal. These policies help them a lot to grow in their career and enable them to take good managerial positions in the UAE. In the end, at a broader prospective, the economic diversification of the country is also highlighted.
