Abstract

This research aimed to develop and validate a multidimensional reflective-reflective measure of work-life fulfilment (WLF) through four studies. In study 1, spread across three phases, the researchers identified relevant dimensions and the nomological network of WLF using the Antecedents-Dimensions-Outcomes systematic review framework, further cross-validated with focus group discussions. Items were generated in the second phase and assessed for face validity by a focus group. Content validity indices (CVI) at item-level (I-CVI) and scale-level (S-CVI) and modified kappa were estimated in the third phase to select final items for pilot testing in study 2. Responses from 100 professionals from the IT/ITeS sector were subjected to exploratory factor analysis upon testing for the factorability of data. In study 3, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on an additional sample of 564 IT/ITeS professionals, and the latent structure was validated through reliability analyses, discriminant and convergent validity assessments, and tetrad analysis. The presence of common method bias was also checked and invalidated. Study 4, conducted on an additional sample of 621 IT/ITeS and BFSI professionals, tested the relationship of WLF with three antecedents, namely resonant leadership, relational civility and psychological capital, to establish its nomological validity and outcome variable burnout, to establish predictive validity. The scale was further cross-validated on 325 professionals from the BFSI sector in the fifth study to test generalizability. The results confirm work prowess, work-life balance, rewards and recognition, healthy lifestyle, relationship management, and self-transcendence as the distinct dimensions of WLF. The study contributes to the literature with a unique, six-dimensional, 26-item, second-order, reflective-reflective measurement model of WLF that is psychometrically fit for use on samples across diverse contexts.

实现工作与生活的平衡：量表开发与验证

本研究旨在通过四项研究，开发并验证工作-生活满足感（WLF）的多维反思-反省测量方法。在第一项研究中，研究人员分为三个阶段，利用 "前因--维度--结果 "系统回顾框架确定了 WLF 的相关维度和名义网络，并通过焦点小组讨论进一步进行了交叉验证。项目在第二阶段生成，并由焦点小组评估其表面效度。第三阶段估算了项目级（I-CVI）和量表级（S-CVI）的内容效度指数（CVI）以及修正卡帕（kappa），以选出最终项目用于研究 2 的试点测试。在测试数据的可因子性时，对来自信息技术/ITeS 行业的 100 名专业人员的回答进行了探索性因子分析。在研究 3 中，对另外 564 名 IT/ITeS 专业人员样本进行了确认性因子分析，并通过可靠性分析、判别效度和聚合效度评估以及四元分析对潜在结构进行了验证。此外，还对是否存在普通方法偏差进行了检查和验证。研究 4 在另外 621 名 IT/ITeS 和 BFSI 专业人员样本中进行，测试了 WLF 与三个前因（即共鸣领导力、关系文明和心理资本）的关系，以确定其名义效度，并测试了结果变量职业倦怠，以确定其预测效度。在第五项研究中，该量表还在 325 名来自 BFSI 行业的专业人员中进行了交叉验证，以检验其可推广性。研究结果证实，工作能力、工作与生活的平衡、奖励与认可、健康的生活方式、关系管理和自我超越是 WLF 的不同维度。本研究为文献提供了一个独特的、六维度的、26 个项目的、二阶的、反思-反思式的 WLF 测量模型，该模型在心理测量学上适合用于不同背景下的样本。
