Purpose

The purpose of this research is to initiate the development of a police-specific measure of work–family conflict (WFC) to assess spouse and/or partner perceptions of the impact of WFC on them, their family and/or their personal lives by tapping existing dimensions of WFC and proposing three dimensions that may be specific to the policing profession. This developmental and exploratory work will serve as the basis for sample data collection with spouses of police.

Design/methodology/approach

For over five decades, researchers have examined the construct of WFC, a phenomenon that refers to the impact of work-related issues on the family of the worker. Despite the fact that policing is a high-stress profession, now under considerable scrutiny and increasing public pressure, much less is known about WFC in police families and the perceptions of spouses and/or partners of police officers regarding WFC. The methodology for developing this scale follows that recommended by psychometricians in the construction of reliable and valid scales for use in both descriptive and predictive research.

Findings

The data reported were generated from an initial content validity study relying on 14 subject matter experts with backgrounds in policing, police research and/or psychometrics and approximately 20 spouses/partners (significant others of police officers). The findings provide preliminary evidence for six potential dimensions of WFC totaling 34 items.

Originality/value

While some researchers have assessed the extent to which certain work-related factors impact police officers' family members, none have tapped additional domain-specific items for police while also surveying spouses and/or partners of officers.

为警察的配偶或伴侣制定工作与家庭的冲突量表

目的

这项研究的目的是启动针对警察的工作-家庭冲突(WFC)度量标准的开发,以评估配偶和/或伴侣对WFC对他们,其家庭和/或他们的个人生活的影响的看法。 WFC的现有维度,并提出了可能针对警务专业的三个维度。这项发展和探索性工作将作为与警察配偶收集样本数据的基础。

设计/方法/方法

五十多年来,研究人员研究了WFC的构造,这种现象指的是与工作有关的问题对工人家庭的影响。尽管警务是一项高压力的职业,现在正受到相当多的审查和日益增加的公众压力,但对于警察家庭中的WFC以及对WFC的配偶和/或警官伴侣的看法知之甚少。制定此量表的方法遵循心理学家推荐的方法,用于构建可靠且有效的量表,以用于描述性研究和预测性研究。

发现

报告的数据来自于最初的内容有效性研究,该研究依赖于14位具有警务,警察研究和/或心理计量学背景的主题专家以及大约20位配偶/伴侣(其他重要警官)。调查结果为WFC的六个潜在方面提供了初步证据,总计34个项目。

创意/价值

尽管一些研究人员已经评估了某些与工作有关的因素对警务人员家庭成员的影响程度,但没有人在调查警察的配偶和/或伴侣时还利用了其他针对警务领域的物品。
