WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT BI-DIRECTIONS AND BURNOUT AMONG FEMALE TEACHERS IN ENUGU, NIGERIA
Abstract
This study investigated work-family conflict bi-directions (work interference with family and family interference with work) as predictors of burnout among female teachers in Enugu, Nigeria. Participants comprised 304 female teachers between the ages of 26 to 54 years (M=40.37, SD = 4.09) drawn from 24 State Government Secondary Schools in Enugu metropolis using criterion sampling. Okonkwo (2011) 32-item Work-Family Conflict Scale with two major subscales measuring work interference with family and family interference with work was administered. Maslach and Jackson (1986) 22-item Burnout Inventory was administered. Cross-sectional survey design was used while multiple regression was used as statistical test for data analysis. Results revealed that work-family conflict bi-directions (work interference with family and family interference with work) neither jointly nor independently predicted burnout at p > .05, thus giving credence to the view that it is the quality and not the quantity of roles that matters. |
