Emerging market firms often face corruption and institutional weakness in their environments. Firm-level trust may help with these challenges. In these countries, firm-level trust may engage employees and reduce pressure on firms from weak institutions and corruption. This is a study of employees of firms in Mexico and Peru, and it measures perceptions of corruption, trust, and institutional strength. Using confirmatory factor analysis and linear regression, the study tests hypotheses that trust moderates the weak institution - perceived corruption relationship. Findings suggest that trust may help employees be productive despite these challenges. Firms that build trust among employees may be better able to confront the challenges of corrupt and uncertain institutional environments.

The Impact

This study discussed about work engagement of nurses who experienced work-life imbalance and how the support from supervisor, coworker, organization, and family impacting it. This study aims to examined the moderating effect of social support in relation of work-life imbalance and nurses’ engagement and also evaluate the role of social support’s dimensions. A total of 120 nurses with a diploma in nursing participated in this study. They were working in nursing activities and lived with family as daily basis. The study was using adapted form of UWES-9, Industrial Society’s Work-Life, and CESS questionnaires. Measurement being done with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method and measurement model using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with Lisrel 10.0. Structural model testing showed that work-life imbalance significantly correlated with work engagement (r=-0.24, normed c2<2.00, RMSEA<0.05), and no significant moderating effect of social support was found. Only support from coworker moderated the work-life imbalance and work engagement of nurses (r=0.20, normedc2<2.00, RMSEA<0.05), and neither support from supervisor, organization, and family show any significant correlations as moderating variables. As conclusion, hypotheses was tested and confirmed. The findings showed work-life imbalance negatively correlated with work engagement, and support from coworker can help buffer the impact of imbalanced work-life condition on nurses’ engagement. The other dimensions of social support show no significant correlations. Perawat dalam melaksanakan tugasnya rentan menghadapi kondisi ketidakseimbangan kerja yang dapat mempengaruhi keterikatan kerja mereka. Untuk mengatasi pengaruh tersebut diperlukan sumber daya seperti dukungan sosial dari atasan, rekan kerja, organisasi, dan keluarga perawat yang dapat memberi dukungan pekerjaan bagi perawat. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk melihat peranan dukungan sosial dan masing-masing dimensinya sebagai moderator pada pengaruh ketidakseimbangan kehidupan kerja terhadap keterikatan kerja perawat. Partisipan penelitian adalah perawat (N=120) yang sedang aktif bekerja di bidang keperawatan dan berstatus tinggal dengan keluarga. Data diperoleh dengan kuesioner UWES-9, Industrial Society’s Work-Life, dan CESS yang telah diadaptasi. Pengolahan data menggunakan metode SEM dan pengujian model pengukuran menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan bantuan program Lisrel versi 10.0. Hasil pengujian structural model menunjukkan bahwa ketidakseimbangan kehidupan kerja berkorelasi signifikan terhadap keterikatan kerja (r=-0.24, normedc2<2.00, RMSEA<0.05), sementara peran dukungan sosial sebagai variabel moderator tidak signifikan berkorelasi. Hanya satu dimensi dukungan sosial, yaitu dimensi coworker, secara signifikan berperan sebagai moderator (r=0.20, normedc2<2.00, RMSEA<0.05), sementara dimensi supervisor, organization, dan family tidak menunjukkan korelasi yang signifikan sebagai moderator. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah ketidakseimbangan kehidupan-kerja berpengaruh negatif terhadap keterikatan kerja perawat, dan hanya dukungan sosial dari rekan kerja yang dapat berperan sebagai moderator dalam hubungan tersebut. Sementara dukungan sosial dari atasan, organisasi, dan keluarga tidak berperan sebagai moderator antara ketidakseimbangan kehidupan-kerja dan keterikatan kerja pada perawat.

The Relationship

The aim of this research is to test the relationship between the service quality of restaurants and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) communication, satisfaction, and behavioural intention and to analyse the moderating effect of the restaurant atmosphere in the relationship between service quality and eWOM. The population of the research consists of local tourists who come to the restaurants located in the city centre of Diyarbakır. Questionnaires were used to obtain the data of the research. The data were analysed using 385 surveys collected from restaurant customers using package programs (SPSS and AMOS). As a result of explanatory factor analysis, 4 service quality dimensions were determined in restaurants (tangibles, assurance, reliability, empathy), and then confirmatory factor analysis, second-order confirmatory factor analysis, a measurement model, and path analyses were carried out. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the service quality dimensions of the restaurants have effects on satisfaction and eWOM. In addition, restaurant atmosphere has been found to have a moderating effect on the effect of service quality dimensions on eWOM in restaurants.

Smartphone Use

A 2019 Pew study of emerging economies revealed citizen concerns over smartphone use as risky behavior and their ill effects, such as addiction and overdependency, among many factors. In response, the authors developed a smartphone dependency scale (SDS) of factors that contribute to smartphone addiction, particularly for emerging economies like the Philippines. The instrument was developed from previously validated constructs. They propose that social influence, convenience, affective (anxiety), physiological (maladjustment), and cognitive (mindfulness) factors separately drive smartphone dependency. To test the SDS, the authors surveyed 901 Philippine participants. The scales showed excellent internal consistency and reliability and adequate concurrent and criterion-related validities. A confirmatory factor analysis showed that SDS factors had good data fit. This instrument is a first step in (1) exploring why individuals become dependent (addicted) on mobile devices and (2) stimulating further research concerning smartphone dependency for emerging market settings.

Definition Of

Background/Objective: The Invalidating Childhood Environment Scale (ICES) is an instrument designed to assess retrospectively parental invalidation experience, according to Marsha Linehan’s definition of invalidation. The main aim of this paper is to determine the factorial structure of the ICES. Three factor structures: Standard Model, Reduced Model, and 2 Factor Model are examined. Also, the association between invalidating experience and borderline symptoms is studied. Method: Data from a non-clinical, volunteer sample of 274 adults was collected. Participants completed 4 surveys: Demographic surveys, Invalidating Childhood Environment Scale (ICES), Borderline Symptoms List (BSL 23), and Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI). Statistical analyses included confirmatory factor analysis and multiple linear regression. Results: The results of the analysis presented indicate that the ICES is a reliable instrument, and that the 2 Factor Model is good fit and allows for a broader understanding of invalidation and it’s qualities. The results of the linear regression analysis indicated a mild but significant association between invalidation and BPD symptoms. Internal consistency was acceptable for all levels. Conclusion: The outcome of this study shows that the ICES is a useful instrument that can be used to make progress in uncovering the role of childhood invalidation in BPD.

This article investigates the psychometric properties of the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS). A group of 704 adolescents completed the questionnaires in their classrooms. This study examines potential confirmatory factor analysis factor models of the RCADS as well as the relationships between the RCADS and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders-Revised (SCARED-R). A subsample of 595 adolescents also completed an anxiety questionnaire (Fear Survey Schedule for Children-Revised, FSSC-R) and a depression questionnaire (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, CES-D). Confirmatory factor analysis of the RCADS suggests that the 6-factor model reasonably fits the data. All subscales were positively intercorrelated, with rs varying between .48 (generalized anxiety disorder-major depression disorder) and .65 (generalized anxiety disorder-social phobia/obsessive-compulsive disorder). The RCADS total score and all the RCADS scales were found to have good internal consistency (> .70). The correlations between the RCADS subscales and their SCARED-R counterparts are generally substantial. Convergent validity was found with the FSSC-R and the CES-D. The study included normal adolescents aged 10 to 19. Therefore, the findings cannot be extended to children under 10, nor to a clinical population. Altogether, the French version of the RCADS showed reasonable psychometric properties.

Abstract. Physical exercise when done excessively may have negative consequences on physical and psychological wellbeing. There exist many scales to measure this phenomenon. The purpose of this article is to create a scale measuring the problematic practice of physical exercise (PPPE Scale) by combining two assessment tools already existing in the field of exercise dependency but anchored in different approaches (EDS-R and EDQ). This research consists of three studies carried out on three independent sample populations. The first study (N = 341) tested the construct validity (exploratory factor analysis); the second study (N = 195) tested the structural validity (confirmatory factor analysis) and the third study (N = 104) tested the convergent validity (correlations) of the preliminary version of the PPPE scale. Exploratory factor analysis identified six distinct dimensions associated with exercise dependency. Furthermore, confirmatory factor analysis validated a second order model consisting of 25 items with six dimensions and four sub-dimensions. The convergent validity of this scale with other constructs (GLTEQ, EAT26, and The Big Five Inventory [BFI]) is satisfactory. The preliminary version of the PPPE must be administered to a large population to refine its psychometric properties and develop scoring norms.

The Worry Domains Questionnaire was proposed as a measure of both pathological and nonpathological worry, and assesses the frequency of worrying about five different domains: relationships, lack of confidence, aimless future, work, and financial. The present study analyzed the factor structure of the long and short forms of the WDQ (WDQ and WDQ-SF, respectively) through confirmatory factor analysis in a sample of 262 students (M age = 21.8; SD = 2.6; 86.3% females). While the goodness-of-fit indices did not provide support for the WDQ, good fit indices were found for the WDQ-SF. Furthermore, no source of misspecification was identified, thus, supporting the factorial validity of the WDQ-SF scale. Significant positive correlations between the WDQ-SF and its subscales with worry (PSWQ), anxiety (STAI-T), and depression (BDI) were found. The internal consistency was good for the total scale and for the subscales. This work provides support for the use of the WDQ-SF, and potential uses for research and clinical purposes are discussed.

Confirmatory Factor

The distinction between task and relationship conflict is well established. Based on Jehn’s (1995) intragroup conflict scale, we developed an economic six-item questionnaire for assessing relationship and task conflict in work groups. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed on data from a convenience sample (N = 247), and confirmed the original two-factor solution. The stability of the obtained two-factor solution was supported by confirmatory factor analysis in a longitudinal design with a second sample (N = 431) from the industrial sector. In line with previous research, the two types of conflict were intercorrelated. Moreover, the two subscales showed differential longitudinal effects on team outcomes. Task conflict was beneficial for performance in nonroutine tasks (but not in routine tasks). Relationship conflict had a negative impact on team viability and coworker trust.
