“…The Schieman and Young (2013) [1] study was replicated by Bowen et al (2017) [4] using a modified instrument and different method of survey administration to explore similar issues (using path analysis) of work contact among 630 construction professionals in South Africa. Both studies investigated the same question i.e., whether work-family conflict, psychological distress and sleep problems are associated with work contact.…”

“…Both studies investigated the same question i.e., whether work-family conflict, psychological distress and sleep problems are associated with work contact. As with Schieman and Young (2013) [1], the Bowen et al (2017) [4] study employed the scales without detailed psychometric evaluation of the items and scales comprising these items.…”

“…The aim of the current study, using the same dataset as Bowen et al (2017) [4], is to assess the construct validity and internal consistency of the modified Schieman and Young (2013) [1] measurement scales through confirmatory factor analysis and tests for internal consistency (α). Comprehensive overviews of the theoretical frameworks underpinning the prior research of Schieman and Young (2013) [1] and Bowen et al (2017) [4] can be found in those publications.…”

“…The Bowen et al (2017) [4] study modified the Schieman and Young (2013) [1] telephone survey instrument in several respects. The modifications were made to permit the following: application of more robust data analytic techniques; a specific focus on construction professionals as compared to the general population of working adults; and administration of an online rather than a telephonic survey.…”

BackgroundThis study examined the construct validity and internal consistency of modified versions of the job autonomy and control, job pressure, work contact, work-family conflict, psychological distress, and sleep problems scales developed by Schieman and Young (2013) among construction professionals through confirmatory factor analysis and tests of internal consistency.MethodsUsing a cross-sectional design, survey data were collected from 942 South African construction professionals, of which 630 responses were considered for analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine construct validity. Cronbach’s coefficient alpha was used to determine the internal consistency, and convergent validity was tested using correlation analysis.ResultsThe final CFA indicated very good model fit to the data (χ2 /df ratio = 2.11, IFI = .95, CFI = .95, RMSEA = .06, and Hoelter (95%) = 176). The scales demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency: .82; .91; .83; .90; .90; and .73, respectively. Convergent validity was largely demonstrated with respect to direction of association, but not in relation to magnitude. A limitation of the validation study was the lack of available data for a more robust examination of reliability beyond internal consistency, such as test-retest.ConclusionsThe six scales developed by Schieman and Young (2013) hold promise as measures of work contact, work-family conflict, psychological distress, and sleep problems in relation to working conditions of construction professionals.
