Work and family stress and well-being: an examination of person-environment fit in the work and family domains

Article Abstract:

Stress has been linked with the degree of incongruence between a person's values and how these values are met by the person's environment. A high degree of incongruence leads to the deterioration of a person's physical, social and mental well-being. The negative economic impact of stress has spurred much research on work-related stress. However, studies show that family-based stress has more severe effect on a person's well-being. Further research revealed that the degree of stress felt from work or family depends on how much attention a person gives to the work or family domain.

Alternatives to difference scores as dependent variables in the study of congruence in organizational research

Article Abstract:

An alternative model for analyzing congruence as a dependent variable in organizational research is developed. The model eliminates ambiguities resulting from the use of difference scores and profile similarity indices. It also maintains conceptual distinctions between component measures and provides information on relationships between independent variables.

Alpha inflation? The impact of eliminating scale items on Cronbach's alpha

Article Abstract:

An analysis of Cronbach's alpha in statistical sampling reveals that alpha may be increased or decreased by dropping or increasing the number of correlated items in the scale. The alpha in the N-item scale cannot be used in the k-item scale as discrepancies may arise. Caution must be observed so as to prevent inflating the alpha to higher levels.
