The objective of this research is to identify the working environment; workload, late working hours and harassment create hurdles on women teachers' performance in private universities of Karachi.Design & Methodology: The research design, which we use, is descriptive research design because we determine the association between the dependent and independent variables. Our independent variables are working hours, workload and harassment these are the causes that can be controlled or changed. The research explores the impact of these variables on female teachers performance. A structured questionnaire is designed to collect 200-sample size from four different private universities in Karachi. The research design of study was quantitative in nature and data was analyzed through regression and correlation analysis.Finding & Recommendations: The results of the study concluded that the overall working environments of universities have a significant impact on the performance of female teachers. Other variables i.e. workload, working hour and female harassment have significant impacts on female teachers performance too. Therefore, it is finally concluded that non-conducive working environment, unjustified working hours, excessive workload and sexual harassment create a negative impact on women employee performance in private universities of Karachi.
