dc.description.abstractThe clergy profession is a challenging one as they are expected to provide spiritual leadership by providing comfort and support to members of the congregation. If the clergy do not intentionally manage their time-management stress by exercising proper self-care, the quality of their family relationships can be impacted negatively by the stress. This study investigated the influence of time management stress with the self-care moderator on clergy-family relationships in Christ Is The Answer Ministries (CITAM). The total population was 204, and a total of 115 respondents, comprising 57 pastors, 40 spouses, and 18 children, participated in the study. Ethical considerations were adhered to by receiving the necessary approvals and licenses before commencing the study. Primary data was collected using questionnaires and focus group discussions. Quantitative data was analyzed using the linear regression technique and presented in tables, histograms, and box plots. The qualitative data was transcribed and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach to identify key themes. Findings showed that time-management stress had a negative effect on the quality of clergy-family relationships (B = -0.224, p < 0.05). Thematic analysis revealed that having intentionality about their self-care and maintaining clear boundaries between work and personal life would help clergy reduce time-management stress and improve the quality of their family relationships. The study recommended that churches should collaborate with family therapists to offer therapy sessions to all members of the clergy. This would enable the clergy and their families to gain new insights and perspectives in dealing with time-management stress and thereby improve the quality of their family relationships.
