Introduction: Role conflict occurs when an individual is required to perform multiple social roles and inconsistent behaviors. One of these types of conflicts is work-family conflict. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of translating and psychometric the "Work-Family Conflict Scale". In the staff of the Ministry of Sports and Youth.
Methods: The present study is a methodological research. The research population was the staff of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, which was selected as a statistical sample using non-random and quota method and the number of samples required for factor analysis of 200 people. "Work-Family Conflict Scale" with 18 items and 6 subscales and 5-point Likert response method from very low to very high. First, the original version was translated into Persian, then the original translations were combined into a single translation. The final version translated from Persian to English and finally the translated version was reviewed, corrected and summarized.
Face validity, content validity ratio, content validity index, construct validity (exploratory factor analysis method), convergent validity and divergent validity were measured. Reliability was determined by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and composite reliability. Data were analyzed using SPSS. 24 and SmartPLS 3.2.1.
Results: All scale expressions have an impact of more than 1.5 according to experts. The results of content validity ratio with the opinion of 15 experts were 0.59 and content validity index was 0.79-0.81. The results of Bartlett sphericity test showed a sufficient significant correlation between the questions (Chi-square = 2263.023, P <0.001). Also, the results obtained from Kaiser criterion showed that the factor loads for all 6 factors were greater than 0.40 Which explains 76.791% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the convergent validity indices in the six dimensions of the studied scale are more than 0.5. Also, divergent validity showed that the mean extracted variance of each of the six dimensions is greater than its highest correlation with other constructs of the studied scale. The results of Cronbach's alpha coefficients and composite reliability were more than 0.70 and 0.80, respectively.
Conclusions: “Work-Family Conflict Scale" can be used as a suitable instrument for assessing work-family conflict in the community of sports staff, as in the original version. Therefore, the use of this scale to measure this concept is recommended for sports staff.
