Drawing from empirical and theoretical scholarship, we illustrate that despite system…

Development and Initial Validation of a Cognitive-Based Work-Nonwork Conflict Scale
Current research related to work and life outside work specifies three types of work-nonwork conflict: time, strain, and behavior-based.

Four studies on six different groups (N=549) were undertaken to develop and validate an initial measure of this construct. Structural equation modeling con…
