Promoting the psychological health of married career women in the post-Covid-19 era

Abstract

This paper assesses the relational impacts of attitude towards organizational change (ATOC), perceived social support (PSS), teleworking (TW), and self-harming behaviors (SHB) on the psychological health (PH) of married career women (MCW) post-Covid-19. The sample for this research was extracted from six (6) work organizations in the Lagos and Oyo States of Nigeria. The participants were married career women who were employees within the study organizations. This study advocated a cross-sectional survey using self-reported questionnaires. 222 of the 240 questionnaires distributed were examinable and subject to statistical analysis using the Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS version 28). This study revealed a link between attitude toward organizational change and mental health. Additionally, it demonstrated a strong positive association between perceived social support and psychological health. It also mentioned the extent to which teleworking correlates with mental health. Further, it showed a negative association between self-harming behaviors and psychological health. Moreover, this study demonstrated the joint, potent, and substantial impacts of attitude towards organizational change, perceived social support, teleworking, and self-harming behaviors on the psychological health of married career women.
