“…Composite reliability (CR) is considered the most suitable measure for assessing construct reliability. 70 Three fit indices, namely parsimonious fit, incremental fit, and absolute fit, were used to measure the standard values and validity of the constructs. The fitness indices and their greater thresholds are presented in Table 4 .…”

Background Examining cognitive medical errors (MEs) and their contributing factors is vital in health systems research, as it provides baseline data that can be used to develop appropriate interventions to prevent and/or minimize errors. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the association between cognitive MEs and hospitals’ organizational factors and the individual psychological and functional factors. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in three main hospitals in Northern Jordan. A proportional sampling technique was employed to decide the number of participants from each hospital. Data from physicians and nurses (n=400) were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, which was developed based on pertinent literature review. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to validate the study instrument. The relationships between the variables were analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS. Multi-group analysis was also performed to examine the differences in the participants’ perceptions towards the respective variables between the three selected hospitals. Results Our results showed a non-significant negative association between MEs and hospital organizational factors. Also, the SEM analysis showed a positive significant correlation between MEs and psychological and functional factors, whereby excessive workload, complexity of tasks, stress, sleep deprivation, and fatigue were found to be predictors of MEs occurrence. In comparison to the results from the university hospital, the multi-group analysis results from the governmental public hospital and the private hospital showed a significant impact of psychological and functional factors on MEs. Conclusion To reduce the occurrence of MEs in hospitals, there is a need to enhance organizational safety culture. Efforts should be directed at both organizational and individual levels. Also, it is essential that health decision makers develop strategies to reduce work-related stress and improve healthcare staff well-being, as work stress may cause cognitive impairments among healthcare workers and hence threaten patients’ safety.

“…The standard loading factor value of ≥ 0.5 is considered as very significant (Mustafa, Nordin, Razzaq, & bin Ibrahim, 2020). It also indicates a good level of convergent validity (Baistaman, Awang, Afthanorhan, & Rahim, 2020).…”

The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of competence, compensation and discipline variables on the performance of partners employees at Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Lubuklinggau City. The population of this work were 163 respondents and a survey based quantitative method was used in this work. The Structure Equation Modell (SEM) statistical tool then utilized for data analysis purposes. The results showed that the sub-structure of the employee discipline variable was influenced by the level of competence and compensation. Structurally, the performance of the partners employees of BPS of Lubuklinggau City was influenced by competence, compensation and discipline. However, compensation had the most dominant influence compared to the other two variables. This illustrates that the higher the compensation provided by the organization to its employees, will have an impact on improving the performance of its employees.

“…The CFA determined the validity and reliability of the instruments (Awang, 2012). The three types of validity were construct validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity (Baistaman et al, 2020). The reliability assessment was calculated using the composite reliability for each construct.…”

<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the ubiquity of professional learning communities (PLCs) among researchers, studies on PLCs have widely differed in terms of dimensions used to conceptualise them. Thus, the study aimed to validate the conceptual model consisting of PLCs practices. The study employed a quantitative method using a survey. Firstly, a pilot test was conducted in which 103 school-teachers were involved in completing a questionnaire. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) had determined six dimensions and 20 elements of PLCs practices. Then, the field study was conducted using the new questionnaire. The survey involved 386 school-teachers from 25 High Performing Schools (HPS). The result revealed that: I) Based on the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), multidimensional PLCs practice model is evidence in the Malaysian context. They are operationalised in six dimensions including visions, missions and values, professional leadership, collective and collaborative culture, sharing of best practices, conducive school climate, and strategic alliances among stakeholders and, ii) The level of PLCs implementation in HPS is high for all the dimensions. The practical implications from the study and future research recommendations were also discussed.</p>
