SIMONE, Silvia De; AGUS, Mirian; LASIO, Diego  and  SERRI, Francesco. Development and validation of a measure of work-family interface. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.3, pp.169-179. ISSN 2174-0534.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/jwop2018a19.

While research has traditionally analysed negative aspects of the work and family relationship by embracing a reductionist approach, over the past 20 years a number of studies have also focused on positive aspects. Our studies set out to validate the Italian version of the instrument developed by Kinnunen and cols. with a sample of 707 employees. Psychometric characteristics are presented, confirming the invariance of factorial structure and their validity in the Italian context. Results from different organizations confirm the four-factor model: negative work-to-family interface, negative family-to-work interface, positive work-to-family interface, and positive family-to-work interface. These results support the factorial validity and reliability of the Work-Family Interface Scale (WFIS) and its sustained use in organisational studies.

Keywords : Work-family interface; Public sector; Development and validation; Measurement.
