Psychometric Instruments Review and Usage Adaptation among Nigerian Study Populations in WorkFamily Conflict Studies: Case Study of the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria

The purpose of this paper is to review some Psychometric instruments commonly utilised in the Work-Family Conflict Studies and to adopt them for use among the Nigerian study populations. Broadly speaking, the majority of the Psychometric instruments used in conducting research in Africa vis-a-viz, Nigeria are alien and foreign to these researchers. In order to have to be validated to suit local use, this is the gap, vacuum and loophole that this study seeks to fill. Validity and reliability analyses of these Psychometric instruments for use among the Nigerian populations were determined by administering the questionnaires on a sample of 100 participants randomly selected from 375 staff of the University of Benin, Benin City South-South Nigeria and whose results were not included in the main study. Validity and reliability analyses were evaluated with the Cronbach alpha coefficient by utilising the IBM statistical package for the social scientists (IBM SPSS) version 22 for windows with an alpha correlation coefficient of between 0.71 and 0.86 the results showed that the Psychometric instruments were valid and reliable for Nigerian study populations. The study recommends that more studies of this nature should be undertaken by Work-Family Conflict Researchers.
