Abstract

The problems of pro-social behavior among individuals have been in existence from the recorded history. Studies that have investigated pro-social behavior have used different predictors and populations with varied results. Therefore, this study investigated academic stress and resilience as predictors of pro-social behavior among first year undergraduates of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey design while convenience sampling technique was used to collect data from 219 participants using the Pro-social Behavior Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Resilience Scale. Data collected were analyzed using multiple regressions to test three hypotheses which were accepted at a p < .05 level of significance. The result showed that academic stress and resilience jointly predicted pro-social behavior among study participants [R2 =.10, F (2,216) =11.88, p < .05]. In addition, academic stress (β= -.26, p < .05) independently predicted pro-social behavior while resilience did not independently predict pro-social behavior among study participants (β = .12, p > .05). The study concluded that academic stress is a strong predictor of pro-social behavior among study participants. It is recommended that university management and other stakeholders should organize regular seminars on stress reduction techniques that would encourage activities that would lead to pro-social behavior among undergraduates.

Abstract

Healthcare workers experience multifaceted mental health issues due to the nature of their work. Some studies have investigated predictors of mental health with varied results. Therefore, this study examined moderating roles of work-family conflict self-efficacy (WFCSC) on the relationship between work-family conflict and mental health among healthcare workers in Akure metropolis, Ondo State, Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey design while purposive sampling technique was used to select three state hospitals in Akure metropolis. Data were collected from 201 healthcare workers using validated scales and analyzed using zero-order correlation and three-step hierarchical multiple regression to test three hypotheses. All hypotheses were accepted at p < .05 level of significance. The result indicated that work-family conflict significantly predicted mental health among study participants.  Also, the result revealed that WFCSE significantly predicted mental health among healthcare workers. Finally, the result showed that WFCSE significantly moderated the relationship between work-family conflict and mental health among healthcare workers). The study concluded that WFCSE is a strong predictor and moderator of mental health among study participants. Therefore, it is recommended that management should provide mental health support services to their workers to reduce the negative influence of work-family conflict self-efficacy on mental health outcomes.
