EFFECT OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE ON EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION OF SELECTED MINISTRIES IN NIGERIA

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of work-life balance on employees’ satisfaction of selected ministries in Nigeria using the descriptive survey research design. The sample size comprised of the Federal Ministries in Anambra State, Nigeria and primary data by means of structured questionnaire were employed. Two research hypotheses were formulated and the one-sample t-test was used in validating the hypotheses of the study with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings showed that job sharing have positive and significant effect on employees’ satisfaction. On the other hand, it was found that work stress has a negative and significant effect on employees’ satisfaction in Nigeria. It was therefore recommended amongst others that organisations should clearly stipulate the extent of job flexibility so as to give employees adequate and proper orientation of the job beforehand
