PUJOL-COLS, Lucas. On the Positive Side of Work- Family Interaction: Development and Validation of the Short Work-Family Enrichment Scale (SP-WFES-6) in Argentina. Rev. colomb. psicol.

The purpose of this study was to develop and to, subsequently, validate a Spanish version of the Short Work-Family Enrichment Scale (SP-WFES-6). Using cross-sectional (N = 438) and multi-wave (N = 103) data from a sample of workers with different backgrounds, this paper conducted a thorough examination of the psychometric properties of the SP-WFES-6 in terms of its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, dimensionality, factor invariance, gender invariance, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and predictive validity. The results from the CFA revealed that the SP-WFES-6 comprised two factors and that this two-factor structure remained statistically invariant across gender and sample. Furthermore, both factors reported adequate levels of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity and predictive validity. Altogether, the findings of this study demonstrated that the SP-WFES-6 is a reliable and valid instrument to measure work-family enrichment in Argentina and, possibly, in other Spanish-speaking countries.
