This study investigates the intersections that are taking place as a result of juggling between work and family among the staff of Kwara State Colleges of Education in Nigeria. The study also identifies the relationship between job involvement and performance of familial responsibilities among working families of Kwara state College of Education as a case study. It examines the interference between work and family its impact on job performance (core task behaviour, organizational citizenship behaviour and counterproductive behaviour) and familial roles. Therefore, various hypotheses were formulated to respond to the identified problem in this study. A sample of 300 was taken using proportionate sampling (PPS) techniques and questionnaires were distributed accordingly to elicit data for the final analysis. In order to analyse the data, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and ANOVA were employed using SPSS version 16.0. The findings from descriptive statistics showed that, the majority of the respondents strongly believed that work-family conflict impacted and interfered with their job performance and family life. The finding shows that there is greater extent of work-interference in family and lower degree of family interference in work. Also, the findings from the Pearson correlation indicate that, there was positive and moderate statistical significant relationship between family interference in work (FIW) and performance in work responsibilities. It was further revealed that, there was and statistical significant relationship between work interference in family (WIF) and performance of familial duties. The finding form ANOVA reveals that work interference in family well-being, socialization, home chore management, and reproduction role. It also reveals that family interference in core task behaviour, organizational citizenship behaviour and counterproductive behaviour. Lastly, the results of interviews with HODs confirm low interference of family in performance of job, suggesting that family and work organisation should be structured to be more flexible to accommodate accomplishment of familial responsibilities in order to reduce the implication of work-family conflict on both work and family.
