“…Among the eleven topics, the OECD defines a ''Work-Life Balance'' index, based on the following variables: The share of the labor force that works very long hours (more than 50 h a week) and the time spent on ''leisure and personal care'' (defined, in contrast to paid or unpaid work, as spending time with friends, going to movies, pursuing hobbies, sleeping, eating, etc.). McGinnity and Whelan (2009), and related studies, have dealt with the issue of comparative work-life conflict in Europe, using the European Social Survey. Other proposed measures to assess work-family conflict are the Work-Family Strains and Gains (Marshall and Barnett 1993) and the Work-Family Balance Scale (Wooden 2003;Zhang et al 2012).…”

“…As an indictor of quality of life, work-family balance has gained both academic and practical attention in the United States (Barnett, et al 2004), European countries (McGinnity and Whelan 2009), and Japan (Gornick et al 2007). However, it is also particularly meaningful to investigate this issue in contemporary urban China.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the factor structure of the Work-Family Balance Scale (WFBS) and examine its reliability and validity in use in the urban Chinese population. The scale was validated using a sample of 605 urban Chinese residents from 7 cities. Exploratory factor analysis identified two factors: work-family conflict and work-family enrichment. The WFBS showed adequate reliability and concurrent validity. The WFBS is a reliable and valid instrument to measure work-family balance for Chinese working parents. However, further examination of the scale is needed.

c ResumoMudanças na economia mundial extrapolam organizações e apresentam efeitos não apenas no trabalho e no desenvolvimento da carreira, mas também na vida íntima e familiar dos profissionais. Este estudo buscou explorar em dois contextos, Brasil e Estados Unidos, diferenças e semelhanças na expressão do conflito trabalho-família, bem como aspectos relacionais e preditivos desse construto a partir das variáveis: sucesso de carreira, estresse no trabalho, satisfação com a vida, satisfação com a família e satisfação com o relacionamento. O estudo contou com 388 participantes (184 norte-americanos e 204 brasileiros), os quais responderam um questionário on-line com diferentes escalas psicológicas. Os resultados apontaram para ambos os contextos a preditividade do estresse no trabalho para conflito trabalho-família. Especificamente na amostra de norte-americanos, dimensões de sucesso de carreira foram preditores de família interferindo no trabalho. No grupo de brasileiros, aspectos de família interferindo no trabalho se relacionaram diretamente com satisfação no relacionamento amoroso. Work-family conflict: A study with Brazilians and Americans AbstractChanges in the world economy extend beyond organizations and have effects not only on job and career development, but also on the personal and family life of professionals. The purpose of this study was to explore in two contexts, namely Brazil and the U.S., differences and similarities in the expression of work-family conflict, as well as the relational and predictive aspects of this construct based on the variables: career success, job stress, satisfaction with life, satisfaction with family, and personal relationship satisfaction. The study included 388 participants (184 Americans and 204 Brazilians) who answered an online questionnaire with different psychological scales. The results indicated that in both contexts, stress at work was a predecessor for work-family conflict. Specifically, in the U.S. sample, career success dimensions were predictors of family interfering with work. In the Brazilian group, aspects of family interfering in work were directly related with satisfaction in love relationships.
