Abstract. The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS; Watson et al., 1988 ) is a popular self-report questionnaire that is administered all over the world. Though originally developed to measure two independent factors, different models have been proposed in the literature. Comparisons among alternative models as well as analyses concerning their robustness in cross-national research have left an inconclusive picture. Therefore, the present study evaluates the dimensionality of the PANAS and differences between English and translated versions of the PANAS using a meta-analytic structural equation modeling approach. Correlation matrices from 57 independent samples ( N = 54,043) were pooled across subsamples. For both English and non-English samples, a correlated two-factor model including correlated uniquenesses provided the best fit. However, measurement invariance analyses indicated differences in factor loadings between subsamples. Thus, cross-national application of the PANAS might only be justified if measurement equivalence was explicitly tested for the countries at hand.

This study investigated the relationships among managerial leadership, transformational leadership, and performance of school administrators of Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College (NIPSC) through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Covariance-Based SEM (CB-SEM), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with its default Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) were used to test the hypothesized model that managerial leadership covary transformational leadership which were both related to the school administrators’ performance. Results revealed that of the eight alternative models, two equivalent models, one model generates every probability distribution that can be generated by another model, Model B3 and Model D3 were generated, got the smallest Alkaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayes Information Criterion (BIC) indicating that both models had relatively better fit. Model B3 and Model D3 have the same degrees of freedom but feature a different configuration of paths among the same variables. However, of the two equivalent models, model B3 was rejected due to discriminant validity concerns while model D3 passed both measurement model and structural model, model D3 was confirmed and retained. As contribution to the fields of education, management and leadership, the researcher confirmed and recommends, through CB-SEM using CFA with its default MLE, the Managerial Leadership and Performance as fully mediated by Transformational Leadership Model.

Perusahaan perbankan saat ini harus berupaya semaksimal mungkin untuk menciptakan pengalaman pelanggan terhadap kualitas layanan, dikarenakan memiliki dampak terhadap hasil hubungan pelanggan (Customer Relationship). Salah satu kunci sukses dalam industri perbankan adalah dibutuhkannya interaksi personal dalam bentuk implementasi strategi relationship marketing (pemasaran relasi), hal ini dikarenakan sifat layanan yang tidak berwujud dan tidak bisa dipisahkan dari penyedia layanan dengan demikian lembaga perbankan harus peduli dengan pengembangan dan pengelolaan hubungan dengan pelanggan.Tujuan studi ini mengkaji pengaruh kualitas layanan terhadap komitmen afektif, komitmen normatif, komitmen kontinuan serta loyalitas nasabah debitur pada PT. Bank Kalbar di Kalimantan Barat. Hal ini di karenakan, kualitas layanan selain memiliki efek pada komitmen hubungan, kualitas layanan yang disampaikan dapat menjadi motivasi dalam diri nasabah debitur untuk melanjutkan hubungan dengan perusahaan perbankan. Komitmen pelanggan dipandang sebagai faktor kunci dalam retensi pelanggan dan loyalitas, sedangkan kualitas layanan umumnya dipandang sebagai struktur utama yang mendorong loyalitas pelanggan. Dalam studi ini, ukuran kualitas layanan diantaranya, adalah; kualitas interaksi (interaction quality), kualitas lingkungan (environment quality) dan kualitas hasil akhir (outcome quality). Adapun komitmen pelanggan, dalam hal ini dibedakan menjadi tiga yaitu, komitmen afektif, komitmen normatif dan komitmen kontinuan.Sampel dalam studi ini adalah 126 nasabah debitur PT. Bank Kalbar di Kalimantan Barat yang menggunakan kredit untuk kegiatan usaha dan minimal satu kali transaksi peminjaman, dengan menggunakan teknik cluster sampling untuk menentukan kantor cabang dikarenakan lokasi PT. Bank Kalbar menyebar secara geografis serta proporsional sampel dalam menetapkan jumlah responden pada masing-masing cabang. Teknik analisi data dengan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Hasil study mengatakan bahwa kualitas layanan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap komitmen afektif, komitmen normatif, dan komitmen kontinuan, dan kualitas layanan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap loyalitas, serta komitmen afektif, komitmen normatif dan komitmen kontinuan berpengaruh signifikan terhadap loyalitas nasabah debitur PT. Bank Kalbar di Kalimantan Barat.

Compassion Scale

The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) is a widely used measure to assess the trait of self-compassion, and, so far, it has been implicitly assumed that it functions the same way across different groups. This assumption needs to be explicitly tested to ascertain that no measurement biases exist. To address this issue, the present study sought to systematically examine the generalizability of the bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling operationalization of the SCS via tests of measurement invariance across a wide range of populations, varying according to features such as student or community status, gender, age, and language. Secondary data were used for this purpose and included a total of 18 samples and 12 different languages ( N = 10,997). Multigroup analyses revealed evidence for the configural, weak, strong, strict, and latent variance–covariance of the bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling operationalization of the SCS across different groups. These findings suggest that the SCS provides an assessment of self-compassion that is psychometrically equivalent across groups. However, findings comparing latent mean invariance found that levels of self-compassion differed across groups.
