Work Family Conflict Scale: Psychometric Properties of the Italian Version
In literature, there are many instruments for measuring the work family conflict (W F C) The Work Family Conflict Scale (WFCS) is one of the most used tools. This study aimed to evaluate its psychometric properties on a sample of 684 Italian workers (42.1% males, 57.9% females, mean age 45.51 10.91) We also evaluated if there were some demographic differences in the W F C, with relation to gender, the presence of children, and the kind of job (i.e. medical doctors and other health professionals, teachers and researchers, employees, manual workers, self employed workers) We found that the Italian WFCS has good psychometric properties. Moreover, contrary to our hypotheses, males experience higher W F C than females, and the lowest level of W F C characterize doctors and other health professionals. Manual workers and self employed workers seem to be the two job categories that experience the highest level of W F C.
