      abstract = {The teaching profession is increasingly characterized by heightened work demands, technological changes, administrative responsibilities, and family obligations. These challenges have intensified the interaction between work and family domains, significantly influencing teachers' quality of work life (QWL) and job performance. This review paper examines the existing literature on work–family interaction (WFI), quality of work life, and teacher performance. The study synthesizes findings from national and international research to understand how positive and negative work–family interactions affect teachers' well-being, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and professional effectiveness. The review reveals that work–family conflict adversely affects teachers' quality of work life and performance, whereas work–family enrichment contributes positively to professional outcomes. The paper identifies significant research gaps, particularly in the context of Indian teachers and post-pandemic educational environments, and proposes directions for future research.},
