Abstract:
The study investigated Organizational Commitment (OC), Gender Role Ideology (GRI), and Personality Type (PT) as predictors of Work Family Conflict (WFC) in Plateau State Tertiary Institutions. 207 participants drawn from 3 Plateau State Tertiary institutions participated in the study. Four instruments: Work Family Conflict Scale, Organizational Commitment Scale, Gender Role Ideology Scale, and Big Five Inventory were used to collect the data. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the data. The result showed that neither Organizational Commitment OC nor Gender Role Ideology GRI was significant as was hypothesized. Personality Type when considered as a whole variable was also not significant, but revealed a significant prediction with agreeableness (β = .18), F (5, 207) = 2.58, p < .01. Thus, only agreeableness as a personality factor predicts work family conflict. Discussions and recommendations were made.
