Developing And Validating the Measurement Model for Employee Engagement Construct Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to develop and validate the instruments designed to measure employee engagement construct. The pilot study used the structured survey randomly sampled 300 lecturers. The effectiveness of measuring items and the dimensionality of the construct determined by the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) procedure. At last, utilizing the recently developed instruments, the field study attained a random sample of 401 lecturers to survey employing the structured survey. The field data were used via the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) procedure to validate the instruments. The EFA procedure identified three components that emerged from the items. The CFA procedure validated the uni-dimensionality, validity, and reliability of the instruments measuring employee engagement construct. The finding indicated that the employee engagement construct measurement model accomplished the requirement for construct validity and reliability and ought to be applied for research in the future. This study developed instruments specifically for assessing employee engagement among vocational lecturers in the North Zone of Malaysia. Future researchers could foster widen the instrument showed in this study by cross-surveying across the different Zone of Malaysia and compared with other related EE instruments.

The validation of financial behavior instruments for university students: An exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis approach

“…A summary of the discriminant validity assessment can be seen in Table 8 below. Table 8 shows that the discriminant validity value for the financial behavior construct is less than 0.85, which follows the conditions specified at the beginning that the discriminant validity value used is less than 0.85 (Awang, 2014a;Baistaman et al, 2020;Jian et al, 2020).…”

Role of Threshold of Free Shipping Promotion and Product Type on Impulsive Buying Behaviour in E-Commerce Platform

“…Subjects' general characteristics and dependent variables are analyzed using descriptive statistics. Furthermore, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is conducted by confirming its convergent and discriminant validity and composite reliability to develop and help validate the measurement of the construct, as this method is generally used for social science (Jian, Yin, & Awang, 2020). Data from the field study is used to perform the CFA procedure.…”

Exploring and Developing Measurements for the Dimension of Contract Governance in Malaysia’s Public-Private Partnership Initiatives

“…This shows that based on EFA procedures, about 87 percent of construct governance dimension can be explained by 5 components generated by EFA in this study. The entire variance explained is acceptable because it exceeds the minimum value of 60 percent (Bahkia et al, 2019;and Jian et al, 2020). Table 5 indicates that all items correspond to each component by displaying the components and dimensions of each item.…”
