balance among female lecturers of Rev. Fr. Moses Orshio Adasu University, Makurdi.

The study employed a cross-sectional design where 123 female lecturers were sampled using

a convenience sampling technique. Participants’ ages ranged between 34 to 49 years with a

mean age of 41.30 years (SD=3.43). Data were collected using the Occupational Stress Scale,

Role Conflict and Role Ambiguity Scale, as well as the Work-life Balance Scale. Four hypotheses

were formulated and tested using Multiple Regression Analysis, Hayes Process Mediation

Analysis, and Standard Multiple Regression Analysis. Findings indicated a significant

influence of occupational stress on work-life balance among female lecturers of Rev. Fr. Moses

Orshio Adasu University, Makurdi.

Also, findings revealed a significant influence of role

conflict on work-life balance among respondents. Furthermore, findings showed significant

mediation of role conflict between occupational stress and work-life balance among female

lecturers. Finally, findings indicated a significant joint influence of occupational stress and

role conflict on work-life balance among female lecturers. The study concluded that occupational

stress and role conflict were significant determinants of work-life balance among female lecturers

when independently and jointly tested. The study recommended, among others, that the

management of MOAUM should adopt digital systems for course registration, result

submission, and instructional delivery as a strategy for reducing manual administrative

workload, thereby improving work-life balance.
