Validation psychométrique de l’échelle de conflit travail-famille de Carlson, Kacmar et Williams (2000) chez le personnel soignant togolais : analyses exploratoire et confirmatoire d’une structure à quatre facteurs
Psychometric validation of Carlson, Kacmar and Williams’s (2000) work-family conflict scale among Togolese healthcare workers: exploratory and confirmatory analyses of a four-factor structure
Résumé : La mesure du conflit travail-famille chez les soignants exige des instruments adaptés à leur contexte professionnel et culturel. Pourtant, les propriétés psychométriques de l’échelle de Carlson, Kacmar et Williams (2000) restent insuffisamment documentées en milieu hospitalier ouest-africain francophone. La présente étude examine sa fidélité, sa structure factorielle et son invariance entre établissements auprès de soignants togolais. Une enquête quantitative transversale par questionnaire auto-administré a été menée auprès de 305 soignants recrutés par convenance dans les CHU Sylvanus Olympio et Campus de Lomé. Les analyses comprennent l’alpha de Cronbach (α), une analyse en composantes principales, une analyse factorielle confirmatoire sur données ordinales et un test d’invariance métrique. L’échelle d’intention de quitter est également examinée comme critère de validité convergente associée au conflit. Les échelles et sous-dimensions présentent une cohérence interne acceptable à excellente (α = 0,732–0,905). L’exploration dégage quatre composantes expliquant 68,68 % de la variance : les dimensions temporelles et de tension se recomposent partiellement, tandis que les items comportementaux se différencient selon la direction du conflit. L’analyse confirmatoire fournit des indices contrastés (CFI = 0,983 ; TLI = 0,980 ; RMSEA = 0,135), le modèle théorique à six facteurs conservant un meilleur ajustement. Le test inter-établissements soutient l’invariance métrique du modèle à quatre facteurs (ΔCFI = 0,005). Cette étude documente ainsi une recomposition possible de l’échelle dans le contexte étudié et propose une solution alternative à examiner conjointement avec le modèle original, sans conclure à sa supériorité ni à une validation définitive.

Abstract: Measuring work-family conflict among healthcare workers requires instruments suited to their occupational and cultural context. Yet the psychometric properties of Carlson, Kacmar and Williams’s (2000) scale remain insufficiently documented in French-speaking West African hospital settings. This study examines its reliability, factor structure and invariance across institutions among Togolese healthcare workers. A cross-sectional quantitative survey, using a self-administered questionnaire, was conducted among 305 healthcare workers recruited by convenience at the Sylvanus Olympio and Campus University Teaching Hospitals in Lomé. The analyses comprise Cronbach’s alpha, principal component analysis, confirmatory factor analysis on ordinal data and a metric invariance test. Intention to leave the institution is also measured as an external variable associated with the conflict. The scales and subdimensions show acceptable to excellent internal consistency (α = .732–.905). The exploratory analysis yields four components explaining 68.68% of the variance: the time and strain dimensions are partly recomposed, whereas the behavioral items differ according to the direction of the conflict. The confirmatory analysis provides contrasting indices (CFI = .983; TLI = .980; RMSEA = .135), the theoretical six-factor model retaining a better fit. The cross-institution test supports metric invariance of the four-factor model (ΔCFI = .005). This study thus documents a possible reorganization of the scale in the context studied and proposes an alternative solution to be examined alongside the original model, without concluding that it is superior or definitively validated.
