Construct Validity and Reliability of the Work Environment Assessment Instrument WE-10

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to validate the construct and reliability of an instrument to assess the work environment as a single tool based on quality of life (QL), quality of work life (QWL), and organizational climate (OC). The methodology tested the construct validity through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and reliability through Cronbach’s alpha. The EFA returned a Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) value of 0.917; which demonstrated that the data were adequate for the factor analysis; and a significant Bartlett’s test of sphericity (χ² = 7465.349; Df = 1225; p ≤ 0.000). After the EFA; the varimax rotation method was employed for a factor through commonality analysis; reducing the 14 initial factors to 10. Only question 30 presented commonality lower than 0.5; and the other questions returned values higher than 0.5 in the commonality analysis. Regarding the reliability of the instrument; all of the questions presented reliability as the values varied between 0.953 and 0.956. Thus; the instrument demonstrated construct validity and reliability

The Perimenopausal Fatigue Self-Management Scale Is Suitable for Evaluating Perimenopausal Taiwanese Women’s Vulnerability to Fatigue Syndrome

“…The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) value in the current study was 0.892 and a KMO value of 0.80–0.89 is classified as good (meritorious) [ 41 , 42 , 43 ]. In theory, the KMO value was used to examine the measure of sampling adequacy (MSA), which ranged between 0 and 1, and the value more closely reached 1, suggesting that the correlation of the variables was much higher, and these variables were more suitable for factor analysis [ 27 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. The correlation coefficient between the variables was χ 2 = 503.45, df = 260, p < 0.001, suggesting that a significant Bartlett’s test of sphericity was found [ 44 , 45 ].…”

“…Descriptive statistics were initially used to describe the sociodemographic profiles of all study subjects. CFA and EFA were used to test the applicability of the theoretical model[18][19][20][25][26][27][28].…”

The influence of Free and Open-Source Software-Geographic Information System online training on spatial habits, knowledge and skills

“…On the other hand, discrimination test is useful to differentiate among students based on how well they know the material being tested (Friatma & Anhar, 2019). The validity test adapt the Spearman-Rank correlation method to observe the spatial habit type, meanwhile Pearson correlation has been used for spatial knowledge type, and Cronbach's Alpha to measure the reliability (Bonett & Wright, 2014;de Barros Ahrens et al, 2020). The items are considered appropriate if they meet the criteria for item analysis as presented in the Table 2.…”

The Role of Adolescents’ Personal and Social Resources in Achieving Desired Emotional and Behavioral Outcomes during an Anxiety-Provoking Pandemic Outbreak

“…Moreover, after a time, they return to their usual behavioral patterns, relating to the event as a challenge [ 15 , 16 ]. Relatedly, exposure to the substantial stressors accompanying the COVID-19 outbreak has been shown to increase anxiety behavior levels [ 1 , 5 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. As such, although excessive anxiety may decrease wellbeing, we suggest that some anxiety may be needed to prompt rapid behavioral changes in the short term, such as the recommended contagion prevention of handwashing.…”
