Validity and Reliability of the Korean Version of the Work Family Behavioral Role Conflict Scale (WFBRC S)
This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Work Family Behavioral Role Conflict Scale (WFBRC S) which was originally developed to measure work family behavioral role conflict in American adults with a wide variety of occupations such as nurses and chief executive officers. This study used a methodological research design. The study population consisted of 235 married men and women aged 20 years or older who were living in various cities, who had been employed for three years or more. The validity of the content, construct, convergent, discriminant, and criterion related, as well as the reliability of the WFBRC S K, was assessed. The WFBRC S Korean version consists of 25 items. It was found that through the validity of the composition and standards of WFBRC S K, it was possible to measure the conflict by focusing on behavior so that a comprehensive evaluation of the role conflict between family and work, and work and family, can be performed. Five items in the WFBRC S K were excluded with a standardized factor loading of less than 0.50. We applied the modified index to improve the model fit to build a model, it supports a good fit and reliable score for the Korean version of the WFBRC S model. Analysis of the fit of the revised model Nomed kh2 (CIMIN/df) value of less was: fit indices to 2.05 RMSEA 0.07, RMR 0.04, SRMR 0.06, GFI 0.85, IFI 0.91, TLI 0.90, CFI 0.91. Criterion validity compared to the WLBOC S showed significant correlation, and Cronbach's alpha was 0.94. Factor loadings of the 25 questions ranged from 0.49 to 0.81. The study findings confirmed the applicability of this scale for measuring the work family behavioral role conflict in Korean adults with a wide variety of occupations. The WFBRC S K can be applied on the measurement of work family conflict in nursing and other industrial sites. These results provide a foundation for future studies on work family behavioral role conflict in Korean adult.
