Juggling of Work-Family Conflict and Academic Job Stress on Life Satisfaction Among Private University Lecturers in Ogun State, Nigeria
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Life Satisfaction of lecturers
Abstract
Studies have revealed that, the majority of health difficulties among academics are caused by their everyday exposure to work stress, which reduces productivity. According to studies, work-family conflict lowers life satisfaction. However, little has been done to relate academic-job stress with work-family conflict on life satisfaction or measured using an academic stress scale which this study developed (Cronbach alpha 0.85 <.05) to reflect the true stress that lecturers face in private universities, where they are required to multitask under severe conditions. The study examines the relationship between life satisfaction and married status, as well as the effects of academic job stress and work-family conflict among lecturers at private universities. University lecturers' life satisfaction was strongly impacted by work-family conflict and academic job stress, with a large interaction effect between work-family conflict and marital status. According to this study, university management should take steps to decrease lecturers' dissatisfaction and increase employment to alleviate their workload.
