Abstract
The study examined the effect of working mothers’ career on the social adjustment of students in selected secondary schools in Ikeja Local Government Area of Lagos State. In this study, some relevant and related literature reviews were carried out under sub-headings. The descriptive research survey design was applied in the assessment of the respondents’ opinions using the questionnaire and the sampling technique. The sample of this study consisted of 120 (one hundred and twenty) respondents, which represented the entire population of the study. A total of five null hypotheses were generated and tested using the independent t-test for hypotheses one, three and four and five respectively, while the Pearson product moment correlational coefficient statistical tool was used in testing hypothesis two at 0.05 level of significance. At the end of the testing exercise, the results that were obtained indicated that:
(1) there is a significant effect of mothers’ careers on children’s social adjustment in school,
(2) there is a significant relationship between mothers’ careers and the moral development of children in the community,
(3) social adjustment of children brought up by working mothers differs significantly from those brought up by non-working mothers in the community,
(4) there is a significant difference between the academic performance of children who are brought up by working mothers and those brought up by non-working mothers in the community, and
(5) there is no significant gender difference in the social adjustment of students due to the careers of their mothers.
It is also recommended that mothers, who are actively engaged in their work or careers, ought to ensure that, while they carry out their various duties in order to earn money, they should ensure that they take appropriate care of their children’s welfare in terms of their effective education so that these children would not be left out uneducated.
