Abstract

Abstract This study examined assertiveness and emotional intelligence as predictors of marital adjustment among married couples in Greater Ibadan Municipality, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study adopted cross-sectional survey design and used purposive sampling technique to select five local government areas from the Greater Ibadan Municipality. Data were conveniently gathered from 395 participants using Assertiveness Scale, Emotional Intelligence Scale and Marital Adjustment Scale. Data collected were analysed using multiple regression and t-test of independent samples to test three hypotheses at a p < 0.05 level of significance. The result indicated that assertiveness and emotional intelligence jointly predicted marital adjustment among study participants (β = 0.27, F (2, 292) = 38. 52, p < 0.05). Also, assertiveness (β = 0.20, p < 0.05) and emotional intelligence (β = 0.29, p < 0.05) independently predicted marital adjustment among married couples in the study population. However, gender did not influence marital adjustment among study participants. The study concluded that couples’ assertiveness and emotional intelligence are strong predictors of marital adjustment. Therefore, the study recommended that marriage counsellors should assist both potential and old married couples in assertive and emotional training to be able to manage conflicts as it arises in their marriage.

Abstract

This study investigated predictors of quality of work life among nurses in Ipokia Local Government Area in Ogun State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted to collect data using the Quality of Life Scale, Work-Family Conflict Scale, and Job Stress Scale. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 182 nurses (Females: 123; Males: 59). Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis, t-test of independent mean, and one-way analysis of variance. Three hypotheses were generated and tested at a 0.001 level of significance. The result revealed that work-family conflict and job stress jointly predicted the quality of work-life among nurses [R2 = 286, F (2,181) = 37.648, p = .002). Also, job stress independently predicted the quality of work-life among nurses (β = .543, p = .001). However, work-family conflict did not independently predict the quality of work-life among nurses (β =-.001, p >.05). It was concluded that work-family conflict was a significant factor when combined with job stress but not an independent predictor of quality of work-life among nurses. Therefore, the Chief Medical Director and Human Resource Department of hospitals should monitor the stress levels of their nurses to ensure continuous productivity and avoid unnecessary breakdown of nurses at Work and home.

Studies linking quality of life with the period of individuals’ bereavement are lacking. Therefore, this study investigates personality traits, resilience and perceived social support as predictors of quality of life among bereaved young adults in Ibadan. Ex-post facto design utilizing cross-sectional survey was used while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study location. Data were collected from 187 bereaved young adults using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression and independent samples t-test. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The result demonstrated that personality traits, resilience and perceived social support jointly predicted quality of life among study participants In addition extraversion agreeableness and perceived social support independently predicted quality of life among study participants. Furthermore, there was a gender difference in quality of life among study participants. The study concludes that interactions of personality traits, resilience and perceived social support are good predictors of quality of life among study participants.

Abstract

This research aims at investigating the predictive ability of social media use, religiosity and social support on mental health among undergraduate samples in Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study population. Data were collected from 401 undergraduates using validated questionnaires and analyzed using hierarchical   multiple regression to test one hypothesis which was accepted at p <.001 level of significance. The result revealed that social media use, religiosity and social support jointly predicted mental health among study participants [R2 = .31, F (3, 398) = 28.952, p <.001). Furthermore the result showed that social media use (β =.193, p <.001) and religiosity (β = .45, p <.001) independently predicted mental health among study participants. The study concluded that social media use, religiosity and social support are strong predictors of mental health among undergraduate samples. It is recommended that the university authority should sensitize the students on the proper use of social media while the parents and other stakeholders should provide social support to the students to reduce any negative effects on their mental health.

Abstract

Sexual harassment has become a pervasive problem in many tertiary institutions worldwide which affects psychological, physical and academic well-being among undergraduates. This study investigated gender differences and self-esteem as predictors of perceived sexual harassment among undergraduates in Rivers State, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while purposive sampling technique was used to select three tertiary institutions in the State. Data were collected from 250 participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regressions analysis and independent samples t-test. Two hypotheses were tested and accepted at p <.05 level of significance. The result revealed that gender differences and self-esteem jointly predicted perceived sexual harassment among study participants R2 = .274, F(2,248) = 46.633, p <.05. In addition, gender differences (β = .349, p <.05) and self-esteem (β = -.348, p <.05) independently predicted perceived sexual harassment among study participants. Finally, the result confirmed gender differences and perceived sexual harassment [t(247) =17.981, p <.05] such that female undergraduates reported higher perceived sexual harassment (M =38.83, SD=1.29) than their male counterparts (M = 30.94, SD= 4.94). The novelty of this finding is that it is the first time sexual harassment is investigated among undergraduates in these three tertiary institutions in Rivers State. The study recommended that university authority should be proactive in designing and implementing policy that will reduce sexual harassment in their institutions.

Abstract

Abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality especially in developing countries where crude methods are frequently used. Studies on the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of unsafe abortion among in-school adolescents are sketchy. This study was conducted to fill these gaps in knowledge. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while simple random sampling technique was used to select five secondary schools in Oyo West Local Government Area. Data were collected from 200 female participants using validated questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive and Chi-square (χ2) statistics to answer three research questions and test two hypotheses, respectively. The result revealed that 83% of in-school adolescents had good knowledge of abortion, 80% had a positive attitude toward abortion, while 65% indicated that they had carried out abortion. Furthermore, the result revealed that attitude significantly influenced the practice of unsafe abortion (χ2 = 30.307, p < 0.05), while age did not (χ2 = 4.830, p > 0.05). The study concluded that female in-school adolescents (13-19) age bracket had good knowledge and positive attitude toward abortion and had practiced abortion more than once. The study recommended effective counseling and targeted health campaigns on the danger of engaging in unsafe abortion among in-school adolescents.

Abstract

Job satisfaction contributes to individual and organizational performance. It has been investigated using different predictors among workers in different occupations. However, studies examining job satisfaction among university security staff tend to be lacking. Therefore, this study examines the predictability of occupational stress and work engagement on job satisfaction among security staff of the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey design was adopted while data were  collected from 197 participants using validated scales. Data collected  were analyzed using multiple regression to test an hypothesis which was accepted at p < .01 level of significance. The result revealed that occupational stress and work engagement jointly predicted job satisfaction among study participants [R2=.13, F(2,195) = 14.64, p <.01]. In addition, occupational stress (β=.33, p <.01) and work engagement (β = -.16, p <.01) independently predicted job satisfaction among study participants. The study concluded that occupational stress and work engagement marginally predicted job satisfaction among study participants. The implication of this finding is that security staff of the University of Ibadan are working with low job satisfaction as they  experienced occupational stress and low work engagement. The study recommended that the university administrators should design and implement policies that would reduce occupational stress and increase work engagement  to improve their  job satisfaction

Abstract

Turnover intention has remained an emerging issue in university system every year in Nigeria. As the university system continue to experience increasing number of staff turnover, investigating some of the predictors of turnover intention become imperative. Therefore, this study examines the predictive ability of work group functioning and occupational stress on turnover among academic and non-academic staff in a Nigerian university. Cross-sectional design was utilized while purposive sampling technique was used to select the study population. Social Exchange Theory anchored the study. Data were collected from 250 academic and non-academic staff of the Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo using validated scales. Data collected were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression to test hypothesis that was accepted at p < .001 level of significance. The result indicated that work group functioning and occupational stress were statistically significant predictors of turnover intention among study participants. In addition, work group functioning and occupational stress were statistically significant  independently predictors of turnover intention among study participants. The study concludes that work group functioning and occupational stress are  marginally contributed to turnover intention among study participants. The study recommends that the Nigerian university HR strategies should include putting in place an enabling work environment that reduces stress and  turnover intention.
