Аннотация:The majority of studies of the work–family interface have been carried out in Western societies. They also have some limitations in measuring conflict between work and family domains. This paper reports on a study of 387 male and female Iranian employees from a variety of organizations, using a six-dimensional model of work–family conflict (Carlson, Kacmar, & Williams, 2000) to assess both the nature and construct of conflict. The study used a questionnaire based on existing measures, translated from English to Persian and then back-translated to English. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) the validity and cross validity of the model on employees and across gender was assessed. The final results of the analysis support the generalizability of the six-dimensional model of work–family conflict to the Iranian employees and across gender.
