Abstract	Achieving a harmonious work-family balance (WFB) has become increasingly crucial in today's fast-paced world since the women's workforce has increased in the 1900s. This merging change also includes culturally rich regions like Mizoram, a state in north-eastern India. This study explores the psychosocial complexities surrounding the work-family balance (WFB) of the organized sector in Mizoram. The interplay between traditional family values, societal expectations, and modern economic pressures creates unique challenges for individuals striving to juggle professional and familial responsibilities. As more women enter the workforce and traditional gender roles shift, the resulting conflicts can lead to significant stress and mental health concerns for the women, their spouses, and other family members. It also affects the male breadwinners in case of dual responsibilities and sometimes triples when societal activities are on his shoulders. The data of the study includes three urban districts purposively chosen in terms of their large population viz., Aizawl district (Northern Mizoram state), Lunglei district (Southern Mizoram state), and Champhai (Eastern Mizoram State) by administering quantitative methods and a descriptive research design. The unit of the study includes individual married employees living with at least one child between the age group of 26-45 years in hospital settings, educational institutions, and banking sectors. The sample includes 318 employees consisting of 61.32% female respondents and 38.68% male respondents. The work-family balance and the psychosocial dimension relationship is quite satisfying as the findings reveal a satisfactory mean score. The employees administered different forms of coping mechanisms to overcome their work-family imbalance.
