Abstract

Previous studies have investigated different psychological factors predicting domestic violence. However, there has been limited research on the roles of work and family conflicts i.e., work-to-family (WFC) and family-to-work (FWC) conflicts and religiosity. This study, therefore, probed the predictive role that work, and family conflicts enforce on domestic violence among selected persons who are married in Osun state, Nigeria and also investigated the indirect effect of religiosity in the association. A cross-sectional research design consisting of 220 married persons (Mean age = 35.40, SD = 5.87, Females = 58.6%) responded to the domestic violence scale (DVS), work and family conflict scale (WFCS), and religiosity scale (RS). Results of the hierarchical regression analysis revealed a significant predictive effect of family-to-work conflict (FWC) on domestic violence among married persons. The study also found that religiosity plays a significant predictive role in domestic violence among married persons. The mediation analysis using Hayes PROCESS Macro indicated that the link between FWC and domestic violence was partially mediated by religiosity as the direct effect, total effect and indirect effect of this association are all significant. The study, therefore, concluded that FWC has a direct significant impact on domestic violence and that religiosity plays a significant part in the link between FWC and domestic violence among married persons. The study recommended that religious leaders should further provide guidance on managing family-related conflicts among married persons.
