INFLUENCE OF WORK OBLIGATIONS ON FAMILY COMMITMENT AMONG COUPLES IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN KWARA STATE

Abstract

Family and work life have always been interdependent, because the increased employment of mothers, rising family hours of work, today's service-intensive globalizing economy, and the trend toward work long hours for some and inadequate family income for the others have rendered this interdependence both more visible and more problematic. The extent to which an individual carries out their duties and responsibilities at work and home varies from one person to the other and how they balance up their roles and duties can be determined by a number of factors which include job-related factors, family-related factors, and individual factors.
