“…Exploratory factor analysis identifies a number of factors affecting the observed variables, as well as the degree of correlation between the factors and the observed variables. We chose this approach to provide a more accurate evaluation and diagnosis of the existing problems and to suggest improvements, which is an effective approach (Tso et al 2011). There have been widespread applications of questionnaire measures of organizational behaviours (Xenikou and Furnham 1996).…”

This paper constructed an accurate employee satisfaction factors model for measuring employee satisfaction. An employee satisfaction scale with 30 indicators is designed and tested in Chinese Resource-based State-owned Enterprises. Satisfaction surveys are administered and first-hand data of 3,029 respondents are obtained from 27 units. Exploratory factor analysis is used for extracting four employee satisfaction factors from final 29 satisfaction indicators. The four factors are attributed to the culture, job, management, and welfare of the enterprises. Job positions and education level are found to have significant impacts affecting employee satisfaction. Influences of the four factors are discussed with suggestions made to the management. In future research, the relationship between satisfaction, stress, and performance needs further exploration, in addition to the influence of employee stress and factors from other fields.

“…To get a clearer picture of areas to be improved, however, Hong Kong needs an effective way to measure its quality of life. For this reason, the HKSDI has been designed and launched in 2003 based on the 10 priority areas that represent a wide range of community concerns in relation to the local economy, social progress and the environment (Tso et al 2011). The construction of HKSDI can reflect a wide range of economic, social and environmental issues that are relevant to Hong Kong and track the public's view on Hong Kong's progress toward a more sustainable future.…”

“…In addition, many composite indices are constructed by international organizations and used to measure the level of sustainable development by many researchers and governments, such as the the UN's Sustainable Development Goals Index [8], the UNDP's (United Nations Development Programme, a department of a United Nations Organization) Human Development Index [9], and so on. Recently, some researchers have begun to pay attention to sustainable development at the regional level (e.g., [10][11][12][13][14]) . Nevertheless, it is still very important to reveal and measure the actual status of sustainable development at the national level for national development policy-making.…”

A Global Assessment of Sustainable Development Based on Modification of the Human Development Index via the Entropy Method

In response to the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, this paper proposes a new National Sustainable Development Index (NSDI), based on the modification of the Human Development Index (HDI). The purpose of our research was to improve the widely adopted HDI index by incorporating more comprehensive sustainability perspectives, so as to help policy makers to better analyze the sustainability-related issues facing their countries. After clarifying the concept of sustainable development, our research suggests that this term represents a coordination and configuration of economic, social, and environmental aspects of development, with its major focuses on balancing intra-generational welfare and maximizing the total welfare across generations. We then put forward a novel NSDI framework including 12 indicators from dimensions of economy, resource environment, and society, and calculated the weights of 12 indicators using the entropy method. To further validate our proposed index, this paper also measured the NSDIs of 163 countries in the world, and compared this index with the HDI and other well-known modification indices of HDI. The results showed that the NSDI is a reliable and relative complete index for sustainable development assessment, which makes up for the shortcomings of existing indices.
