Abstract
The study investigated the predictive roles of career self-efficacy, work-life balance and selected
demographic factors on the quality of sex life and marital satisfaction among dual-career couples in
Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, and assessed if there are significant differences between men
and women. The study used a cross-sectional research design and 1056 dual-career men and
women ( age = 43.98, σ = 9.48, ♀ = 37.0%) participated in the study. A self-administered paper
and pencil questionnaire was used to collect data from samples that were conveniently drawn from
the study area. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results showed
significant differences in structural weights, structural covariances, and structural residuals in the
model outputs for both men and women careerists. The study concluded that career self-efficacy
and work-life balance differentially predict the quality of sex life and marital satisfaction for both
men and women in a dual-career family, and that age and job tenure are not significant predictors
of quality of sex life and marital satisfaction among dual-career couples.
