摘要：AbstractThe role of women has changed dramatically in the present scenario. The claim has been supported by a general consensus among researchers that many married working women experience significant work-family conflict (WFC). However, the personality traits (PT) have been only minimally considered in the studies of WFC especially in Malaysia. To fill in this gap, a study was conducted to investigate the influence of PT on the relationship between WFC and job satisfaction (JS) among married female teachers at selected schools in Klang Valley. Hence, the aim of this paper is to look at how the Rasch Model is able to facilitate the revalidation process of this instrument construct validity. A number of 38 items were used to measure the personality traits of 90 married female teachers and was tested using the Rasch Measurement Model Analysis. Evaluation of the mean square infit and outfit suggests that the data exhibited; fit the model, which means they are likely to be measuring the single dimension intended by the construct theory. In addition, responses to the statements in the questionnaire show greater consistency and higher reliability coefficient. The result of this paper also confirms the robustness and the validity of the instrument that can be applied in any organizations in Malaysia.
