This study reports the development and initial validation of a theoretically based measure of conflict between work, family, and college student roles. The measure was developed through the assessment of construct definitions and an assessment of measurement items by subject matter experts. Then, the measurement items were assessed with data from 500 college students who were engaged in work and family responsibilities. The results indicate that conflict between work, family, and school are effectively measured by 12 factors assessing the direction of conflict (e.g., work-to-school conflict, and school-to-work conflict) as well as the form of conflict (i.e., time, strain, and behavior based conflict). Sets of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the 12 factors of the new measure are distinct from the 6 factors of the Carlson, Kacmar, and Williams (2000) work-family conflict measure. Criterion validity of the measure was established through a series of regression analyses testing hypothesized relationships between antecedent and outcome variables with role conflict. Results indicate that role demand was a robust predictor of role conflict. To extend the literature, core self-evaluations and emotional stability were established as predictors of role conflict. Further, work, family, and school role satisfaction were significantly impacted with the presence of role conflict between work, family, and school.
本研究报告了一种基于理论的工作、家庭和大学生角色冲突的测量工具的开发和初步验证。该测量工具是通过对结构定义的评估以及主题专家对测量项目的评估而开发的。然后,通过对 500 名从事工作和家庭责任的大学生的数据进行评估,对测量项目进行了评估。结果表明,通过评估冲突的方向(例如,工作与学校之间的冲突,以及学校与工作之间的冲突)以及冲突的形式(即时间、压力和基于行为的冲突),可以有效地衡量工作、家庭和学校之间的冲突。一系列探索性和验证性因子分析表明,新测量的 12 个因素与 Carlson、Kacmar 和 Williams(2000 年)工作家庭冲突测量的 6 个因素明显不同。通过一系列回归分析测试角色冲突的前因变量和结果变量之间的假设关系,确立了该测量的效标效度。结果表明,角色需求是角色冲突的一个强有力的预测因子。为了扩展文献,核心自我评价和情绪稳定性被确立为角色冲突的预测因子。此外,工作、家庭和学校角色满意度受到工作、家庭和学校之间角色冲突的显著影响。
