The Effect Of Family Responsibilities On The Work Commitment Of Professional Women Workers

ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effect of family responsibility on work commitment

of professional women workers. Two hundred (200) women employees

engaged in the financial institutions were used as participants. One hundred

and twenty (120) were unmarried while eighty (80) were married. Among the

married ones, thirty-eight (38) had children while forty-two (42) had no child.

The participants were selected using stratified random sampling method. The

instrument that was used is the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire

(OCQ) developed by (Mowday, Porter and Steers, 1979). The Chi Sq statistics

was used for data analysis. Three hypotheses were postulated and they are

H0:1) – increase in family roles would not significantly affect work

commitment of women, (H0:2) – age of the youngest child would not

significantly affect a mother’s commitment to work and (H):3) – the number of

children a woman has would not significantly affect her work commitment.

Result of the X2 analysis indicated that none of the hypotheses was significant

(P>0.05). The findings and their implications were discussed and the

limitations of the study were stated and suggestions made for further research
