The objective of this study is to describe and assess the work situation of women managers in selected NGOs in the context of their multiple roles. This study used the descriptive and comparative research designs. It utilized the in-depth interview in order to achieve this goal. In this task, twelve NGO women managers were selected. The selected NGO women are specifically from the urban poor, socio-political, and child & youth organizations. It tackles the circumstances surrounding the performance of the multiple roles-namely the reproductive, productive, and community management roles--that women everyday are confronted with. This included problems, concerns, needs, and satisfaction on one's performance that a woman NGO manager faces. Further, the study also deals with the organization as an effecting entity to the women's roles. It gives light on the support or supports that the organization may provide. The study shows that women do experience role conflicts in performance of roles and this problem is mainly attributed to time management.
