“…The KMO MSA criteria and Bartlett's test of sphericity were computed for the inter-correlated matrices, and the resultant item correlations were sufficient to perform the KMO MSA test which produced an index 0.806 and Bartlett's test of sphericity significant at p = 0.001 (χ 2 = 320.628; df = 55). These statistics were all above the recommended threshold (Kleinheksel & Ritzhaupt, 2017) and confirmed the inter-correlation to be factorable. On calculating the eigenvalues of the unreduced item correlation matrix, a one-factor solution was postulated.…”

“…The resultant item correlations were sufficient to perform the KMO MSA test which yielded an index of 0.736 and Bartlett's test of sphericity significant at p = 0.001 (χ 2 = 125.357; df = 15). The results confirmed that the correlation matrix was an identity matrix and satisfactory for factor analysis (Bartlett, 1950;Kaiser, 1974;Kleinheksel & Ritzhaupt, 2017). The next step was to calculate the eigenvalues of the unreduced item correlation matrix on the criterion of roots greater than unity (Kaiser, 1974).…”

Orientation: Intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) including structural capital (SC), human capital (HC), and relational capital (RC) of non-financial information creates a shareholder value. Conflicting evidence on this voluntary disclosure suggests the need to develop an ICD measurement scale for reducing information asymmetry in the annual financial reporting.Research purpose: The main aim of this study was to develop a multi-dimensional measurement scale consisting of groups of items for critically examining the extent of ICD in the corporate annual reports or integrated reports to build investor confidence.Motivation for the study: The lack of voluntary disclosure on intellectual capital (IC) increases information asymmetry and negatively affects investor decision-making. An ICD measurement scale is expected to facilitate the reliable extraction of non-financial information from the annual reports or integrated reports.Research approach/design and method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was used with an ICD measurement scale for extracting information from 150 annual reports of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed companies. The measurement scale was subjected to exploratory factor analysis (EFA).Main findings: The ICD measurement scale yielded one factor structures across all three dimensions with internal reliability statistics (Cronbach alphas) of SC (0.849), HC (0.806) and RC (0.749), after the second level factor analysis.Practical/managerial implications: The ICD measurement scale will enable the market participants to understand how non-financial information can be extracted reliably from the annual reports and use to assess the value of intangible assets.Contribution/value-add: The novel contribution of the study is the construction of a measurement scale for assessing ICD.

“…This was also found in a study performed by Cremonini [18] that nursing students' satisfaction was high with the usage of video games in education. Multiple other studies also concur with the flexibility and adaptability of video games and simulation towards any specific specialty [5,6]. Two studies were performed specifically with the pediatric nurse specialty and gaming.…”

“…Gaming and simulations can help quell those fears by providing an environment of no fear of harm to the patient. Multiple research articles specifically mention the importance of the creation of that type of environment of not harming a patient [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. [5,9] continue to press that issue of errors not affecting humans and that simulations create a supervised session that allows the students to practice, experience and try new skills in different ways to help them learn how to perform those skills in a controlled manner.…”

The term video game generally means the interaction of games played utilizing a specialized electronic device or any other type of screen that it is programmed on (video game, n.d.). The term 'video game,' has been recorded in history as early as 1948 with the invention of the "Cathode-Ray Tube Amusement device" (Brookhaven National Library, n.d.). This particular device utilized manual pictures placed on the screen as an overlay and the game was played under the overlay. In 1952 the first recorded, full-screen video game, without the picture overlay, was developed and titled "OXO" or a version of tic-tac-toe (Brookhaven National Library, n.d.) This device fully displayed the processed output of a game onto a screen. As the years and eventually decades progressed, video games have progressed from something that is played casually, to simulations, educational games, and full virtual reality types of games. Although in earlier times, video games had the stigma of being for pure entertainment value only, the literature has conveyed the utilization of video games, specifically in nursing, as early as the 1980's [1]. This was preceded with the idea of multiple constraints with video games to use in nursing education.The primary reasoning was deeply rooted in the nursing tradition

“…Exploratory factor analysis was performed on each subscale to investigate the underlying structures within the adoption and integration constructs. Varimax was chosen as the rotation method since it is an orthogonal rotation that allows for factor correlation [52,53]. Employees' point of view was used to identify the suitability of characteristics based on the literature, describing various factors of social sustainability related to ergonomic dimensions.…”

Sustainability indicators have provided a breakthrough for companies to assess their performance in supporting corporate sustainability. There is no standard framework for these support-defining indicators to conduct a social sustainability performance assessment. There is a limitation of quantitative social sustainability indicators appropriate for performing ergonomic concept assessments. Ergonomics, as a field concerning people and their interactions with the environment, in particular, the workplace, can play a role in social sustainability, besides its conventional approach of workplace re-engineering. Three major areas of ergonomics were analyzed. The indicators were established based on a review of the literature and confirmed using a factor analysis that covered all major aspects of workplace ergonomics. The factor analysis aimed to reduce the complexity of workplace social sustainability indicators related to ergonomics. The final result integrated 73 indicators into 17 indicators based on three major areas of ergonomics. The findings showed that the best workplace social sustainability indicators were divided into five factors: employee well-being, safety concerns, workplace comfort, musculoskeletal health, and environmental concerns. It would be very beneficial for the industry and the government to support corporate social sustainability and the global sustainability index.
