Özet:

 The aim of this study is to evaluate the work-life balance scale developed by Fisher, Bulger and Smith in 2009 among female physicians and to show, through confirmatory factor analysis, that the scale provides convergent and discriminant validity and has construct validity. The scale was adapted to Turkish by Ekinci and Sabancı in 2021. In this study, it is aimed to show that the scale has convergent and discriminant validity in demonstrating its construct validity, unlike the Turkish adaptation study, by taking into account the CR, AVE, AVE MSV and ASV criteria. The research was conducted with 181 volunteer female physicians who are members of the Female Physicians Education Support Foundation. First, exploratory factor analysis was conducted to obtain the 17-item, 4-factor structure of the scale, and it was seen that the dimensions explained 69.494 of the total variance. Cronbachs alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.861, and the scale was found to be highly reliable. First-level and second-level multi-factor confirmatory factor analyzes were conducted to test the scales suitability for the factor structures determined by the hypothesis. x2 df, RMSEA, SRMR, GFI, NFI, IFI and CFI fit indices obtained as a result of CFA were evaluated and it was revealed that the first level multi-factor model had a good fit. By calculating the CR, AVE, AVE, MSV and ASV values of the proposed model, it has been shown that the scale provides convergent and discriminant validity and that it can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool in determining the work-life balance of female physicians.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı Fisher, Bulger ve Smithin 2009 yılında geliştirdiği iş-yaşam dengesi ölçeğini kadın hekimler nezdinde değerlendirerek, ölçeğin benzeşim ve ayrışım geçerliliğini sağladığı ve yapı geçerliliğine sahip olduğunu doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile göstermektir. Ölçeğin Türkçeye uyarlaması Ekinci ve Sabancı tarafından 2021 yılında yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada ise ölçeğin Türkçe uyarlama çalışmasından farklı olarak yapı geçerliliğinin gösterilmesinde benzeşim ve ayrışım geçerliliğine sahip olduğunu CR, AVE, AVE MSV ve ASV kriterlerini dikkate alarak göstermek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma Kadın Hekimler Eğitime Destek Vakfına üye 181 gönüllü kadın hekimle yapılmıştır. Öncelikle açıklayıcı faktör analizi yapılarak ölçeğin 17 madde, 4 faktörlü yapısı elde edilmiş ve boyutların toplam varyansın 69,494ünü açıkladığı görülmüştür. Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı 0.861 olarak hesaplanmış, ölçek yüksek düzeyde güvenilir bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin hipotez ile belirlenen faktör yapılarına uygunluğunu test etmek üzere birinci düzey ve ikinci düzey çok faktörlü doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri yapılmıştır. DFA sonucunda elde edilen x2 df, RMSEA, SRMR, GFI, NFI, IFI ve CFI uyum indeksleri değerlendirilmiş, birinci düzey çok faktörlü modelin iyi bir uyuma sahip olduğu ortaya koyulmuştur. Önerilen modele ait CR, AVE, AVE, MSV ve ASV değerleri hesaplanarak ölçeğin benzeşim ve ayrışım geçerliliğini sağladığı ve sonuçta kadın hekimlerin iş-yaşam dengesini belirlemede hem geçerli hem de güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olarak kullanılabileceği gösterilmiştir.
