In contemporary Indian society, the working women's role is perceived just as an added role taken up by women necessitating accommodation and adjustment. The Indian social step up provides an important context for understanding the outcomes of employment for the adjustment level of married women. In the present study, an attempt was made to see the effect of work status and socio-economic status (SES), on adjustment problems of married women. Total 240 married women with equal number of working, non-working, low and high SES were selected as per requirements from Marathwada. The age level, educational status and nativity of the subjects were controlled to a certain extent i.e. age ranges between 25 and 45 years, educational status 10+ (school education) and all women belongs to urban population. The SES determined by their family income was assessed using socioeconomic scale (SES scale, Urban) and adjustment problems were measured using Bell adjustment inventory. 2 x 2 factorial design was employed to reach out the objectives of this study. Obtained data were analyzed using twoway ANOVA. Statistical analysis revealed that work status and SES are a significant factor to determine women's level of adjustment.
