Objective:

Validation of the Conciliation Scale of Family and Work Life, for women who are in the north-east of Mexico labor market.

Method:

In this research, a quantitative and explanatory design was developed. 554 women over 18 years who are in paid works were intentionally sampled. An instrument of 35 reagents organized in eight dimensions such as: personal development, family life, social life, personal care, food, physical activity, satisfaction and interference was used.

Results:

Internal consistency, exploratory factorial analysis (AFE) and confirmatory analysis (AFC) were performed. There was a reduction from eight to six dimensions and from 35 to 25 reagents. As soon as these values were obtained, this scale has an appropriate structure as follows: (GFI=0,867, RMSEA= 0,063), becoming valid and reliable (α=0,874) to assess the level of reconciliation between women and their Family and Work Life.

Conclusions:

Gratification, interference, couple and upbringing, health care, responsibilities in the home and free time are dimensions of the ECVT that allow to identify the structure of the conciliation from the perspective of working women.
