Description: Work–Family Conflict Scale (WAFCS) is designed to measure work-to-family conflict (WFC) and family-to-work conflict (FWC) for use with parents of young (2-12 years old) children. It is a 10-item scale comprising two subscales assessing theoretically distinct but related constructs: FWC (five items) and WFC (five items). Analyses revealed both subscales have good internal consistency, construct validity as well as concurrent and predictive validity. The results indicate the WAFCS is a promising brief measure for the assessment of work–family conflict in parents.

Purpose: Measures Work-to-family conflict and Family -to-work conflict
