Abstract
Twenty first century womenacademics have not only changed some of their traditional roles, buthavealso acquired requisite skills for their massive involvement in the formal sector. One would expect that since women have continuously engaged in socio-economic roles outside the home, there would be corresponding relief on some of their traditional family responsibilities, but thus has not been the case. This study examined the effect of family responsibilities on job performance of female lecturers in Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike Ikwo (AE-FUNAI). Descriptive survey design was adopted in this study while utilizing primary and secondary data sources. T-test and Chi-square was used to test the hypotheses. The study was also anchored on the expectations of role conflict theory. The findings of the study showsthat family responsibilities negatively affect job performance of female lecturers in AE-FUNAI. Furthermore, the study revealed that knowledge and experiences in the household positively affect job performance of female lecturers in AE-FUNAI. The study recommends that governments,husbands whose wives are academics, university administrators and management alike, should consider work flexibility and gender mainstreaming through job sharing, compressed working hours, flexi time, child-care assistance, among others.
