Purpose: The study was carried out to examine work-family conflict, job satisfaction and job
performance of female librarians in nine selected federal academic libraries in South-West, Nigeria.
Design/Method/ Approach: Descriptive survey design using simple random sampling was adopted for

female librarians but sixty-seven (67) questionnaires were returned showing a response rate of 72%.
Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools. Hypotheses formulated in the study
were tested using Pearson Product Moment Coefficient and Regression analysis at 0.05 level of
significance.

performance of female librarians. The study also found that the overall score on job satisfaction
