Institutional Support on Mental Health and Work-Life Balance in Higher Education in Pakistan

Abstract

The pivotal role of mental health and work-life balance in higher education is increasingly acknowledged globally, especially in demanding academic settings. Students in Pakistani universities face academic, social, and financial pressures, while faculty encounter research, teaching, and administrative demands, all within a unique socio-cultural context. This study addresses the central issue of how institutional support systems impact the mental health and work-life balance of the higher education community in Pakistan.
