Abstract

In this study, a brief Work-Family Conflict (WFC) Questionnaire in the Spanish language is proposed that takes into account the two directions commonly reported in the literature: work interference with family (WIF), and family interference with work (FIW). The results obtained through exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) with two independent samples, carried out for women and men, showed acceptable validity and reliability. A copy of the instrument in Spanish language is provided, together with the Amos 4 syntax to perform the factor invariance analysis for women and men. The suggested Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire (in Spanish, abbreviated as CCTF) may be useful in studies performed in the work setting, considering the special relevance of the concept in this line of research.

En este estudio se propone un cuestionario breve en lengua española para medir conflicto trabajo – familia, que tiene en cuenta las dos direcciones comúnmente informadas en la literatura: interferencia del trabajo en la familia (TF), e interferencia de la familia en el trabajo (FT). Los resultados obtenidos mediante análisis factorial exploratorio y análisis factorial confirmatorio con dos muestras independientes y llevados a cabo para mujeres y hombres, mostraron una validez y fiabilidad aceptables. Se proporciona una copia del instrumento utilizado en lengua española, así como la sintaxis en Amos 4 para llevar a cabo el análisis de invarianza factorial para mujeres y hombres. El cuestionario de conflicto trabajo – familia (CCTF) que se propone, puede ser útil en los estudios realizados en el mundo del trabajo, ya que se trata de un concepto de especial relevancia en esta línea de investigación.
