Measures to assess work-family relationship tend to emphasize the conflict between both contexts. The Survey Work-Home Interaction - Nijmen (SWING) evaluates the work-family interaction considering the direction and quality of influence. This article analyses the goodness of fit of the original factor model of SWING to a sample of 506 teachers from public schools in a municipality in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, RS. Of these, 91.8% are women, with a mean age of 42 years and six months (SD = 9); 61.4% are married and 70.6% have children. It was performed a confirmatory factor analysis which showed that the four factors distribution of the original scale (Negative Work-Home Interaction; Negative Home-work Interaction; Positive Work-home Interaction; Positive Home-work Interaction) is suitable for this study sample, with satisfactory indicators of adjustment and reliability.
