This study is a comparative study of work-family balance between male and female academic staff of selected universities in Osun state. It was aimed at understanding the significant relationship between work-related experiences and work-family balance among male and female academic staff. A systematically random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Statistical methods such as percentages, means, standard deviations and regression analysis were used for the study. The findings indicated that the differences in coping strategies and the ability to maintain a healthy work-family balance between male and female academic staff at both universities were not statistically significant. In other words, male academics employed a smaller number of techniques than their female counterparts. It was recommended that universities implement instit...

Findings were: Lifestyle significantly predisposed lecturers to stress; lifestyle significantly predisposed lecturers to stress arising from relationship with colleagues, research stress, and teaching task stress; combination of lifestyle and university type significantly contributed to lecturers' stress experiences; finally, variations in the stress were caused by work environment stressors.

A total of 96 persons (55 women and 41 children) were randomly selected from the population of Chibok community in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State. Self-report measures consisting of Conflict-Related Trauma Inventory and PTSD Checklist for civilians were administered to the participants. Data was analysed using Chi-square statistics. Results indicated a PTSD prevalence of 70.9% and 41.5% among the women and children, respectively. There was no significant gender difference in PTSD among the children exposed to Boko Haram insurgency. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended setting up of trauma centres by federal/state governments and private individuals across the communities in the northeastern states for people affected by the insurgency to receive care. Psychologists shou...

Reliable/valid instruments used were Job-related Tension Scale, Perceived-Organizational Justice Scale, and Organizational Frustration Scale. Multiple regression statistic tested the hypotheses postulated. The findings were job-related tension had significant positive correlation and significantly predicted 50% with organizational frustration; as well as have negative correlation with perceived-organizational justice of the participants. Perceived-organizational justice did not significantly predict organizational frustration (21% only) of female bankers. Recommendations were: Psychological intervention mechanisms should be provided for bankers. Organizational justice policies need to be complimented with proaction facilitators to reduce psychological distress of female bankers.
