Development and validation of the multidimensional role conflict questionnaire

Abstract

Role conflict has typically been measured in a unidimensional manner despite its original development as a multidimensional construct and indications that evaluating a number of dimensions may be more useful in a research and diagnostic context. This study addressed the need for a multidimensional scale, the Role Conflict Questionnaire (RCQ) to address some of the limitations of a unitary measure. Opsomming Ten spyte van die feit dat rolkonflik oorspronklik as n multidimensionele konstruk ontwikkel is sowel as verskeie aanbevelings dat die meting van verskillende dimensies meer bruikbaar is in beide navorsings- en diagnostiese verband, word dit steeds tipies eendimensioneel gemeet. Hierdie studie spreek die behoefte van n multidimensionele skaal aan. Die resultaat is die Rolkonflikvraelys (RKV) wat die beperkings van die enkelmeting aanspreek.
