Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of complexity of household tasks
on job performance of female teachers in tertiary institutions in Sokoto State. Five
specific objectives were stated, five research questions were formulated and five related
null hypotheses were stated and tested. A descriptive research design was used for the
study. The population for the study comprised 220 female teachers from the six tertiary
institutions in Sokoto State. Based on the small number, all the 220 were used as
samples. The instrument used for the collection of data was a self structured
questionnaire. Data was collected within four weeks. The data collected were
statistically analysed. From the five null hypotheses 1, 2 and 5 were statistically tested
using chi square. 3 and 4 were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient
(PPMC) at 0.05 level of significance. All the three null hypotheses tested using
chi-square were rejected, also the two null hypotheses tested using PPMC were also
rejected. The finding therefore revealed that meal preparation, caring for the sick, and
budgeting are complex to perform by female teachers in tertiary institutions. Also
supervision of students’ written project and marking of student’s examinations scripts
were influence by complexity of household tasks. The better way to manage complex
household tasks was by using labour saving devices and use of time management. Based
on the findings it was concluded that complexity of household tasks influenced job
performance of female teachers in tertiary institutions in Sokoto State. Based on the
findings, therefore, the following recommendations were proffered: that female teachers
should have a work and time plan in form of a module that would guide their
performance of household tasks and the female teachers paid jobs.
