摘要：The study examined the roles of emotional intelligence, family support, and gender on job demands among employees of selected healthcare organizations. Recent reviews of job demand literature suggest that job demand empirical attention. Multiple regression analysis was used to statistically analyse the results. The study was conducted in Akure-South Local government Area and Akoko, South-West. Using accidental sampling technique, healthcare employees were drawn from; Adekunle Ajasin Health Centre, Neuropsychiatric Specialist Hospital, Tender Heart Hospital and Mother and child Hospital. The total number of participants who volunteered for the study were (113) for the health care employees. The participants of the study were selected using convenient sampling technique. Family support was measured using the Family Support Scale (FSS). Emotional intelligence was measured using the Schutte Intelligence Scale (SEIS) and Job demand was measured using the Job-Demands Scale developed by Jackson and Rothman (2005). The result revealed that perceived organisational supports shows inverse relationship on job demand. (β = -.30, p. <.01). Family support did not show significant results (β = -.10, p>.01). Emotional intelligence also does not predict job demand (β = -.70, p.>.01). The regression analysis showed an interaction of all study variables (perceived organizational support, family support and emotional intelligence and job demand) indicating that the joint pull of all study variables predicted job demands [F (3,277) = 16.23, p<.01]. Results of this study portend key empirical driven conclusion that leads to the important role of family support in the overall interest at both the management and employee level.
