Abstract

The study was carried out to investigate the relationship between marital dysfunction and women’s employment as civil servants in Enugu State. The study adopted a correlational survey design approach in which two research questions and one hypothesis tested at 0.05 significant levels were posed. The population of the study consisted of all the divorced women currently working as civil servants in Enugu State Civil Service. Multi-stage cluster sampling in combination with purposive sampling techniques were used in selecting 72 respondents used for the study. A questionnaire of four-point rating scale developed by the researcher called Marital Dysfunction Inventory (MDI) was used for data collection. Data obtained with the instrument were analyzed using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient Statistic. The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance using multiple regression analysis. The result of the analysis revealed that earning from work relates directly and mostly with marital problems associated with finance. It also revealed that earning from work and sex-related issues shows negative or inverse relationship, among other findings. It was recommended among other issues that women should undertake courtship with their intending husbands in order to identify their sex-partners so as to curtail sex-related problems that could endanger their marital life.
