Development of the Job Demand-Resource Scale for Physicians and its Impact on Work-Family Conflict
Abstract：Objective To develop a set of physicians' job demand-resource scale,to examine its reliability and validity,and to explore the influence of job demand-resource model on work-family conflict.Methods By using the questionnaire survey to collect data,using the internal consistency reliability test and the Exploratory Factor Analysis to test the reliability and validity of scale.The multiple hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the relationship between variables.Results Job demand-resource scale contains 14 measurement items in 2 dimensions.Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of work demand is 0.882,job resource's Alpha coefficients is 0.787,and Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of the whole scale is 0.773.The scale has the good convergent validity and predictive validity.Work demand has a significantly positive predicting effect on work-family conflict (β =0.445,P＜0.01).Work resource has a significantly negative predicting effect on work-family conflict (β =-0.270,P＜0.01).Conclusion The job demand-resource scale of physician has the good reliability and validity.Higher work demand will be more likely to lead to work-family conflict,while higher work resource will effectively reduce the work-family conflict.
