Abstract
Nigerian women making gradual and rapid inroads into paid employment as against the traditional gender-role socialization in sub-Saharan Africa are likely to be exposed to work-to-family conflict (work responsibilities interfering with family responsibilities). This study focuses on the roles of job related variables such as job stress and tenure in work-to-family conflict among Nigerian female health workers with dependent children. Participants comprised 78 female health workers drawn from 3 Federal Hospitals in Enugu, South-eastern Nigeria using cross-sectional survey design. Results revealed a significant influence of job stress on work-to-family conflict with high job stress group having higher level of work-to-family while tenure did not influence work-to-family conflict. These findings have both theoretical and practical implications which are discussed in the paper.
