2.2.2. Work-to-Family Conflict

Work-to-family conflict was measured with four items of the Work to Family Conflict Scale [50], in which employees were asked to report the extent to which they had experienced work conflicts with family in the past year. Each item was rated on a 5-point scale from 1 = *never* to 5 = *all of the time*. Sample items include "Your job reduces the effort you can give to activities at home", "Stress at work makes you irritable at home", and "Your job makes you feel tired to do the things that need attention at home". The mean of the 4 items was calculated, with higher scores representing greater work-to-family conflict. The Cronbach's alpha for the 4 items was 0.82.
