Abstract
It appears that job involvement of non-academic staff in private Universities in Oyo State is declining. This decline is manifested through diminished productivity, elevated turnover rates, increased absenteeism, and other indicators. Potential factors contributing to this trend include inadequate welfare measures, insufficient job security, excessive workloads, and various other challenges. A discernible research gap exists concerning the precise influence of work-home conflict and organisational trust on job involvement among non-academic staff in private Universities in Oyo State. To fill this gap, this study investigate the influence of work-home conflict and organisational trust on the job involvement of non-academic staff in private Universities in Oyo State. Descriptive research design of survey type was used to guide the study. The population consists of 741 non-academic staff in private Universities in Oyo State. A Complete enumeration sampling technique was used in the study. The findings
revealed that job involvement of non-academic staff in private Universities in Oyo State is moderate (x̄=2.93); level of work-home conflict of non-academic staff in private Universities in Oyo State is high (x̄=3.00); level of organisational trust of non-academic staff in private Universities in Oyo State is High (x̄=3.00); there is a significant combined influence of work- home conflict and organisational trust on the job involvement of non-academic staff in private Universities in Oyo State (Adj. R
2 =0.994) and (F(2,582) = 48635.45; p ˂ 0.05); among work-home conflict and organisational trust indices, behavioural-based and trust in leadership exhibits the most positive influence (β =0.246, t= 12.979, p ˂ 0.05) (β =0.181, t= 11.265, p ˂ 0.05) on job involvement respectively.
