Researchers developed a role blurring (RB) tool to measure work-life integration. The study validated the RB tool
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Sociology
- Human Resources
Background:
- Work-life integration is a growing area of interest for researchers and organizations.
- Existing tools may not adequately capture the nuances of role blurring in diverse cultural contexts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and psychometrically evaluate a role blurring (RB) tool for measuring work-life integration.
- To assess the psychometric properties and cross-cultural invariance of the RB tool in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese versions.
Main Methods:
- Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to determine the underlying structure of the RB tool.
- Invariance analysis to compare the measure's structure across Spanish and Brazilian samples.
- Item Response Theory (IRT), specifically Rasch analysis, to evaluate item difficulty and response probabilities.
Main Results:
- Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported a unifactorial structure for the RB tool.
- Invariance analysis indicated no significant alterations in model fit indices between Spanish and Brazilian samples.
- Rasch analysis demonstrated adequate item fit and correctly ordered response categories, supporting the tool's reliability.
Conclusions:
- The developed RB tool is a psychometrically sound and culturally invariant measure for assessing work-life integration.
- The tool's unifactorial structure and item properties, validated through CFA and IRT, make it suitable for cross-cultural research and application.
