Work-family conflict has received increasing attention in recent decades in the area of workplace stressors, which can affect employees' health. However, the dimensionality of the work-family conflict construct among the Malay-speaking population has not been clarified. In order to do so, it is crucial to use an instrument that is appropriate and valid for the Malay-speaking population. As such, the goal of this study was to validate and test the dimensionality of the Malay version of the Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire.
The present study conducted exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, discriminant validity, convergent validity, and internal consistency, using Cronbach's alpha, of the work-family conflict construct among 332 working women in Malaysia.
The results supported the existence of four dimensions in the Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire that distinguish between time based and strain-based work-family conflict and family-work conflict. The discriminant validity, convergent validity, and internal consistency of this construct are adequately supported.
The findings of this study supported the existence of discriminant and convergent validity, as well as adequate reliability, for the construct. Thus, the Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument among Malay-speaking working women.
近几十年来，工作-家庭冲突在工作场所压力源领域受到越来越多的关注，它会影响员工的健康。然而，马来语人群中工作-家庭冲突结构的维度尚未明确。为此，使用一种适合且有效的马来语人群工具至关重要。因此，本研究的目的是验证和测试马来语版工作-家庭冲突问卷的维度。
本研究对马来西亚332名职业女性的工作-家庭冲突结构进行了探索性因素分析、验证性因素分析、区分效度、聚合效度和内部一致性分析（使用克朗巴哈系数）。
结果支持工作-家庭冲突问卷中存在四个维度，这些维度区分了基于时间和基于压力的工作-家庭冲突以及家庭-工作冲突。该结构的区分效度、聚合效度和内部一致性得到了充分支持。
本研究结果支持该结构存在区分效度和聚合效度以及足够的信度。因此，工作-家庭冲突问卷在马来语职业女性中是一种有效且可靠的工具。
