Bifactor models are commonly used to assess whether psychological and educational constructs underlie a set of measures. We consider empirical underidentification problems that are encountered when fitting particular types of bifactor models to certain types of data sets. The objective of the article was fourfold: (a) to allow readers to gain a better general understanding of issues surrounding empirical identification, (b) to offer insights into empirical underidentification with bifactor models, (c) to inform methodologists who explore bifactor models about empirical underidentification with these models, and (d) to propose strategies for structural equation model users to deal with underidentification problems that can emerge when applying bifactor models.

Kualiti guru merupakan penentu utama kepada kecemerlangan murid dari segenap aspek kehidupan agar dapat bersaing di peringkat global. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti perhubungan dan kesan amalan Kepimpinan Kendiri ke atas tahap amalan Gelagat Kewarganegaraan Organisasi guru-guru di Malaysia dan Efikasi Kendiri sebagai pembolehubah pengantara (mediating variable). Kajian ini melibatkan guru-guru yang mengajar di Sekolah Rendah Berprestasi Tinggi di seluruh Malaysia dan seramai 40 orang guru sebagai responden telah dipilih secara rawak dari setiap sekolah. Data kuantitatif ini dianalisa menggunakan Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) dan Structural Equation Model (SEM). Kajian mendapati bahawa tahap amalan Kepimpinan Kendiri, Efikasi Kendiri dan Gelagat Kewarganegaraan Organisasi adalah tinggi dengan skor min melebihi 5.0. Analisis dapatan juga menunjukkan bahawa Kepimpinan Kendiri dan Efikasi Kendiri mempengaruhi Gelagat Kewarganegaraan Organisasi sehingga 20%. Dapatan kajian juga menunjukkan bahawa terdapatnya hubungan yang signifikan antara kedua-dua pemboleh ubah iaitu Kepimpinan Kendiri dan Efikasi Kendiri dengan Gelagat Kewarganegaraan Organisasi guru-guru tersebut. Efikasi Kendiri telah bertindak sebagai pembolehubah separa mediator dalam hubungan antara Kepimpinan Kendiri dan Gelagat Kewarganegaraan Organisasi. Kajian ini diharap dapat membantu melahirkan pelajar yang cemerlang dan seimbang dengan mengetengahkan kualiti guru yang diperlukan supaya mereka dapat menghasilkan murid yang cemerlang dari segenap aspek kehidupan, seiring dengan Falsafah Pendidikan Negara. Hal ini jelas kerana didapati bahawa kualiti guru memainkan peranan yang terpenting bagi menentukan kejayaan seseorang murid. Kajian ini juga diharapkan dapat memberi gambaran yang lebih jelas terhadap peranan dan tanggungjawab guru setelah mengamalkan Gelagat Kewarganegaraan Organisasi. Seterusnya dapat mengurangkan konflik yang timbul akibat daripada berlainan jangkaan dan harapan daripada pelbagai pihak berkepentingan terhadap tugas serta tanggungjawab guru di sekolah.

Library in the university is known as the centre of knowledge. University library offers learning support, research requirement and also teaching materials. The objective of this study is to identify the most (and least) factors that contribute to students satisfaction towards university library. A case study on selected respondents consist of 266 undergraduate students was conducted. Their opinion on the library services has been recorded. Questionnaires were distributed to the respondents. Structural Equation Model was developed to display their responses. The finding concluded that online services and collections have significant relationship with the overall satisfaction towards the library, whereas facilities and library staffs do not have significant contribution to the satisfaction. As a suggestion, the library management should improve their service quality by upgrading the online services such as wireless access, library website service,  and online book renewal process to mentioned a few, which might be effective in improving the students’ satisfaction towards the library.
