Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is a technique for finding some indicator variables that form variables/constructs that are not directly measured based on existing theories or previous studies. The purpose of this study is to find out the indicators of the most dominant variance/construction affecting it. The results of the analysis will show variables forming indicators that can explain variables. The research method used is the technique of taking respondents through simple random sampling — the number of sample respondents used as many as 100 lecturers at the university. The IBM AMOS Program is used to analyze the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Leadership, Organizational Culture (campus), and Work Productivity are variables in the study. The results of the Goodness of Fit test obtained all parameters showing excellent results, and the analysis can continue. The results showed that the most dominant indicators were effectiveness for productivity variables, motivational indicators for leadership variables, and professionalism indicators for organizational culture (campus) variables. There is still an indicator that has not fulfilled the requirements (loading factor worth <0.500) of each research variable, which indicates a tendency to shift value towards each variable.

This study aimed to explore the formation process of employees’ intentions to leave viewed by Planned Behavior Theory during the Covid-19 Pandemic and to determine the factors that influence the formation of employees’ intentions to leave. The intention to leave work is how much encouragement an employee has to leave the company. Based on theory of planned behavior, intention was formed by indirect belief factor and direct belief factor. The components of indirect belief were behavioral belief, normative belief, and control belief. The components of direct belief were attitudes toward behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The research method used was mixed method design. This research consisted of 2 stages research. First study (study 1) aimed to determine the subject's understanding toward components of indirect belief that contributed to form intention. Second study (study 2) aimed to test the measurement model through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and structural model theory of planned behavior in the form of a Goodness of Fit test. The measurement used was the ‘Lisrel’ program. The results showed that work leave intentions were influenced by attitudes toward behavior, subjective norms and behavior control. The dominant predictor of intention to leave was subjective norms. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui proses terbentuknya intensi keluar kerja ditinjau dari theory of planned behavior di masa pandemi Covid-19 dan mengetahui faktor yang mempengaruhi intensi karyawan keluar kerja. Intensi keluar kerja adalah dorongan yang dimiliki seseorang untuk keluar dari perusahaan. Menurut theory of planned behavior, intensi dipengaruhi oleh faktor keyakinan tidak langsung dan faktor keyakinan langsung. Komponen dalam keyakinan tidak langsung meliputi: keyakinan perilaku, keyakinan normatif, dan keyakinan kontrol. Komponen dalam keyakinan langsung meliputi: sikap terhadap perilaku, norma subjektif, dan kontrol perilaku. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode campuran. Penelitian ini terdiri dari 2 tahap. Tahap pertama (studi 1) bertujuan untuk menggali komponen-komponen pada keyakinan tidak langsung yang berperan dalam pembentukan intensi. Tahap kedua (studi 2) bertujuan untuk menguji model pengukuran melalui Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dan uji model struktural theory of planned behavior berupa uji kecocokan model (Goodness of Fit). Pengukuran yang digunakan menggunakan program Lisrel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa intensi kerja dipengaruhi oleh sikap terhadap perilaku, norma subjektif dan kontrol perilaku. Faktor yang paling dominan dalam mempengaruhi intensi keluar kerja adalah norma subjektif.

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.

Abstract Introduction The Sleep Inertia Questionnaire (SIQ) was developed and validated in patients with mood disorders to evaluate difficulties with becoming fully awake after nighttime sleep or daytime naps in a multidimensional manner. However, few data are available regarding its psychometric properties in clinical samples with sleep disorders. Methods 211 patients (43.0±16.4 years old, 68% female, 17% minority) evaluated at the Behavioral Sleep Medicine (BSM) program of Penn State Health Sleep Research & Treatment Center completed the SIQ. All patients were diagnosed using ICSD-3 criteria, with 111 receiving a diagnosis of chronic insomnia disorder (CID), 48 of a central disorder of hypersomnolence (CDH), and 52 of other sleep disorders (OSD). Structural equation modelling was used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the SIQ. Results CFA supported four SIQ dimensions of “physiological”, “cognitive”, “emotional” and “response to” (RSI) sleep inertia with adequate goodness-of-fit (TLI=0.90, CFI=0.91, GFI=0.85, RMSEA=0.08). Internal consistency was high (α=0.94), including that of its dimensions (physiological α=0.89, cognitive α=0.94, emotional α=0.67, RSI α=0.78). Dimension inter-correlations were moderate to high (r=0.42–0.93, p&lt;0.01), indicating good construct validity. Convergent validity showed moderate correlations with Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) scores (r=0.38) and large correlations with Flinders fatigue scale (FFS) scores (r=0.65). Criterion validity showed significantly (p&lt;0.01) higher scores in subjects with CDH (69.0±16.6) as compared to those with CID (54.4±18.3) or OSD (58.5±20.0). A SIQ cut-off score ≥57.5 provided a sensitivity/specificity of 0.77/0.65, while a cut-off score ≥61.5 provided a sensitivity/specificity of 0.71/0.70 to identify CDH vs. ESS&lt;10 (AUC=0.76). Conclusion The SIQ shows satisfactory indices of reliability and construct validity in a clinically-diverse sleep disorders sample. Its criterion validity is supported by its divergent association with hypersomnia vs. insomnia disorders, as well as its adequate sensitivity/specificity to identify patients with CDH. The SIQ can help clinicians easily assess the complex dimensionality of sleep inertia and target behavioral sleep treatments. Future studies should confirm the best SIQ cut-off score by including good sleeping controls, while clinical studies should determine its minimal clinically important difference after pharmacological or behavioral treatments.

<p>Drawing from the transformational leadership theory, this study aims to translate and analyse the psychometric properties of a Spanish version of the Transformational Teaching Questionnaire (TTQ).</p><p>A cohort sample of 2107 adolescents (997 males and 1110 females) from 82 secondary schools voluntarily participated in the research.</p><p>In Study 1 ((<em>n</em> = 1066), the exploratory factor analysis informed a one-factor solution. In Study 2  (<em>n</em> = 1041), the confirmatory factor analysis showed the single-factor and the four-factor models showed satisfactory and adequate goodness of fit indices, respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the four-factor structure of transformational teaching with a high second-order factor, previously found in Canadian adolescents, was replicated in this study. Internal consistency was high in all subscales and in the total scale. The expected pattern of significant relationships with other variables was supported, and evidence of measurement invariance across gender groups was obtained.</p><p>This study provides evidence for the cross-cultural validation of the TTQ, a questionnaire designed to assess students’ perceptions of their teachers’ behaviours from the perspective of transformational leadership theory. These findings suggested that the Spanish version of TTQ would be useful for assessing transformational teaching in Spanish adolescents in physical education classes.</p>

The presence of dysfunctional cognitions about how individuals see themselves and others is a hallmark of psychopathology. The Brief Core Schemas Scale (BCSS) was developed to evaluate adaptive and dysfunctional beliefs about the self and others. This study describes the first psychometric analysis of the BCSS in the Portuguese population. Participants were recruited from community ( N = 320, Mage=27.31, DP = 12.75). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to confirm the BCSS factorial structure. Four-factor model revealed moderate to adequate goodness-of-fit indices (χ2/df = 717.1, (246) p = .01; SRMR = .044; RMSEA = .077; CFI/TLI < .90). Negative views of the self and others correlated positively with early maladaptive schemas, distress, and symptomatology and correlated negatively with psychological well-being. An inversed correlational pattern was found with the positive views of the self and others. Despite the model's moderate adherence to the data, results suggest that the BCSS may be an asset in the assessment of dysfunctional and adaptive cognitions about the self and others. Further analysis is required to deepen the psychometric properties of the BCSS in the Portuguese population.

Purpose: Self-transcendence, the ability to expand personal boundaries in multiple ways, has been found to provide well-being. The purpose of this study was to examine the dimensionality of the Norwegian version of the Self-Transcendence Scale, which comprises 15 items. Background: Reed’s empirical nursing theory of self-transcendence provided the theoretical framework; self-transcendence includes an interpersonal, intrapersonal, transpersonal, and temporal dimension. Design: Cross-sectional data were obtained from a sample of 202 cognitively intact elderly patients in 44 Norwegian nursing homes. Results: Exploratory factor analysis revealed two and four internally consistent dimensions of self-transcendence, explaining 35.3% (two factors) and 50.7% (four factors) of the variance, respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the hypothesized two- and four-factor models fitted better than the one-factor model (c x2, root mean square error of approximation, standardized root mean square residual, normed fit index, nonnormed fit index, comparative fit index, goodness-of-fit index, and adjusted goodness-of-fit index). Conclusions: The findings indicate self-transcendence as a multifactorial construct; at present, we conclude that the two-factor model might be the most accurate and reasonable measure of self-transcendence. Implications: This research generates insights in the application of the widely used Self-Transcendence Scale by investigating its psychometric properties by applying a confirmatory factor analysis. It also generates new research-questions on the associations between self-transcendence and well-being.

It has been widely acknowledged that empathy plays an important role in school education, but empathy as a part of school organizational culture has not been extensively studied in the Indian context. This study explores empathy as the driver for school organizational culture and strives to create a platform for school organizational designs with empathy as the core construct. The study was conducted with two main objectives: (a) to establish and validate a model of empathy-driven school organizational culture and (b) to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure organizational empathy in Indian schools. A random sample of 441 students participated in the study. The empathy-driven model was validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. A part of the questionnaire used for the first part of the study was used for the second part as an independent instrument and validated through confirmatory factor analysis. The instrument was further validated for convergent, discriminant and concurrent validity. Thus, a model for empathy-driven school organizations was validated and a reliable and valid instrument for measuring empathy-driven cultures in schools was developed.
