Abstract
This study explores the intricate relationship between work-family balance, self-concept, and job satisfaction among office information managers. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study with questionnaire for data collection. The study population is made up of One hundred and Thirty office information managers in six private universities in Ibadan, Oyo State. The data collected was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found high level job satisfaction (Mean= 3.5), a very high level work-family balance (Mean=4.3), a moderate work and family life interference (Mean= 2.5 and 2.9) and a moderate perception of self (Mean 2.7). The test of hypotheses further revealed that work family balance have positive significant influence on Job satisfaction (Adj.R2=0.252 ,F(1,103)= 34.652, p=000) while self-concept does not(Adj.R2= 0.026, F(1,103)=2.699, p=.103b). Of the five demographic factors only work hours moderate the influence of work-family balance on Job satisfaction with a t-value of 2.948 and a p-value of 0.004. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the multifaceted dynamics at play in the personal and work life of office information managers. While high job satisfaction and work-family balance are positive attributes, moderating factors like work hours can further enhance job satisfaction. The study recommended universities should encourage self-awareness and self-development among office information managers by providing opportunities for personal and professional growth, mentorship programs, and self-confidence-building initiatives
