Year: 2013

Type: preprint

Abstract: Pressures from family, work and other environmental factors frequently lead to stress and depression among individuals. This study was designed to assess the effects of work-family-stress among public senior secondary school teachers in Nigeria and propose remedial strategies. Work-family-stress is a type of stress that may be task-based, role based, interpersonal-based, physical-based, social-based and intrapersonal-based. The survey research design was used while a questionnaire on a 5 point Likert format as well as personal interviews was used for data collection. Data analysis was done using tables, frequencies, percentages, and linear correlation analysis. It was found that Nigerian teachers face depression due to work-family-stress. Five recommendations were made based on the result of the study.
