Data was analyzed using mean and standard deviation, Correlation matrix (Pearson Product Moment Correlation), and multiple regression. Findings revealed that there is no significant relationship among work-overload, role-conflict, job satisfaction and performance of technical education university lecturers. Study also revealed significant influence of work-overload and role-conflict on job satisfaction (β= .101; β= -.134; p˃0.05) and performance (β= -.107; β= .076; p˃0.05) among technical education university lecturers. It was concluded and recommended that work-overload and role conflict are significant factors that contributes immensely in affecting satisfaction and overall performance of lecturers on their job.
