A model of work, family, and interrole conflict: A construct validation study

Increasingly it has become clear that work should not be studied in isolation from family and personal concerns. Accordingly, the present research examines the construct validity of three scales that purport to measure work conflict, family conflict, and interrole conflict. Conceptual definitions are provided, a nomological network identified, and empirical results examined from two studies. Distinct unidimensional factors emerged; adequate levels of reliability were found; and correlational and path analytic associations offered some support for the theorized model.
