This paper aims to examine the relationships between work-family conflict on the work stress of library personnel at the University of Lagos. The theoretical framework for this survey research is focused on spillover theory. For an in-depth perspective of the issues, data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. Spearman's rho correlation coefficient was used to test relationships between work-family conflict and family-work conflict (independent variables) on library personnel's work stress (dependent variable). Multiple regression analysis was employed to determine the composite effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The results showed a positive significant correlation between work-family conflict and work stress a positive significant relationship between family-work conflict and work stress. The result also revealed that work-family conflict is independently related significantly to work stress, but family-work conflict is not a significant predictor of work stress among library personnel. This paper explores the relationships between work-family conflict and work stress, family-work conflict and work stress of library personnel at the University of Lagos. It contributes to understanding the work-family conflict and family-work conflict in the library. The findings can help practitioners in the field of librarianship to develop and implement the best practices to create a balance in work and family, which consequently will reduce work stress.
