ABSTRACT
This study examined the relationship between work-life conflict and job performance of permanent female staff of manufacturing companies in Rivers State. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey in its investigation of the variables. Primary data were generated through structure questionnaire. The population for this study was 118 permanent female employees of 15 manufacturing companies in Rivers State. Since the population was small, the entire population of 118 permanent staff in the 15 manufacturing companies in Rivers State, Nigeria was adopted as a census sample. The research instruments were validated through face and content validity while the reliability of the instruments were achieved by the use of the Cronbach Alpha coefficient with all the items scoring above 0.07. The hypotheses were tested using the Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Statistics. The tests were carried out at a 95% confidence interval and a 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between work-life conflict and job performance of permanent female staff of manufacturing companies in Rivers State. Therefore, it is recommended that management of the manufacturing companies should provide mechanisms to manage and/or resolve work-life conflict, where feasible, to allow female employees to better balance their work and personal responsibilities.
