    Abstract The present study has been carried out on job burnout and satisfaction of healthcare workers in relation to work-life balance during covid pandemic in the state of Himachal Pradesh. Multistage random sampling technique was done with a total sample size of 300 healthcare workers. Primary data were collected through a well-designed pre-tested schedule by survey method. The required secondary data were collected from various publications and government departments. Therefore, data was analyzed through a combination of statistical tools like Principal Component Analysis, Garrett Mean Score Analysis, Likert Scale Ranking Analysis, Chi-Square Test Analysis and other statistical tools. It was observed that the maximum sampled healthcare workers had good work experience. The results of factor analysis revealed that statements related to extent of work life balance among healthcare workers were associated with careless, absent minded, ignorance, distress, hectic, confusion and unenthusiastic since their correlation with PC1 is higher than 0.50. In case of extent of job burnout, the results of PCA revealed that the first factor extracted was “exhausted, lethargy, tensed, burden, diminished, declining, disappointed, dispraise, overwork and callouses” and explains the maximum variability in healthcare workers in the study area. In case of extent of job satisfaction, the results of PCA revealed that the first factor extracted was “compensation, working conditions, institutional practices, recognition and advancement” and explains the maximum variability in healthcare workers in the study area. Since, overall level, the boredom was reported as the major problem and constraint with rank Ist. The results of various suggestive measures for making work life balance program success in the study area were ranked on the Likert scale which showed that suggestive measures i.e., time management attains Ist rank with a score of 674, followed by prioritizing health which attain IInd rank, by proper planning and stress management training which was ranked IIIrd. It was also found that healthcare workers were influenced by their peer group and family so some amount of training coverage may eventually reach larger groups. Therefore, it is suggested that services should be revamped and strengthen to fulfil the existing needs of the healthcare workers in the study area.
