We tested whether the 6-factor model previously reported by Carlson, Kacmar, and Williams (2000) as underlying their 18-item work-family conflict measure was generalizable to samples of managers from New Zealand (N = 451) and Canada (N = 181). The 6-factor model yielded good fit to the data, although results show that respondents in both samples had difficulty distinguishing between behavior-based work interference with family (WIF) and behavior-based family interference with work. We also found that strain-based WIF appears dominant in terms of predicting general psychological and physical reactions to stress, and that these reactions play significant mediating roles in the positive link between strain-based WIF and managers' intentions to quit their job.
