This paper examines two aspects of work family interfaces: work
interference with family and family interference with work in
Nigerian context. Survey data from business executives in
Nigeria confirmed that job related factors (such as career
salience, hours of work, work involvement) were largely
associated with work interference with family for both male and
female executives. Only one family related factor (number of
children) was found to have dominating effect on family
interference with work for women executives. Implications to
managing work family conflict in Nigeria are explored.
Key words:
Work-family conflict, job-related factors, work-related factors,
interference. |
