The credibility of findings ensuing from cross-sectional survey research depends largely on the validity and reliability of the research instruments. Critical attention to the quality of such instruments will ensure logical and valid results. The purpose of this article is to provide evidence for two methodological issues observed that are potential threats to construct validity of widely used Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) 2018 data on teacher job satisfaction scale (TJSS). The first issue concerns reverse recoding of some items necessary to obtain a coherence covariance between these items and other items on the same subscale. The second issue concerns the addition of item cross-loading necessary to improve the fit of the TJSS. Both conceptual and empirical arguments are provided in the current article to substantiate these observations. A series of structural equation modeling tests are evaluated to assess the measurement model of the TJSS across 27 randomly selected countries/economies that participated in the survey. The results reveal gross misspecifications in the measurement model if these issues are not addressed. An alternative two-factor structure with an item cross-loading is proposed and evaluated for TJSS and found acceptable across the countries/economies. Some implications of findings for methodologists and practitioners are presented.

The main purpose of the study is to know the practices of servant leadership (SL) in the context of Bangladesh. Specifically, the study explores the fitness of SL constructs in a developing country like Bangladesh. Data were collected using SL scale developed by Van Dierendonck and Nuijten from 432 respondents working in the different branches of private commercial banks of Bangladesh. The convenience sampling technique was used for selecting the respondents. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied for analyzing the data. It was revealed that SL is partially practices in the context of Bangladesh. All the constructs of SL are well fit with little modification in empowerment and forgiveness. The main implication of the study is that the SL has crossed the cultural applicability even in developing countries like Bangladesh, which has a cultural difference with any other Western country. The study also pointed out limitations and future research directions.

Objectives and Methods. The aim of the study was to investigate the construct validity of the ARSQ.Methods. The ARSQ and self-report measures of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness were administered to 774 Italian adults, aged 18 to 64 years.Results. Structural equation modeling indicated that the factor structure of the ARSQ can be represented by a bifactor model: a general rejection sensitivity factor and two group factors, expectancy of rejection and rejection anxiety. Reliability of observed scores was not satisfactory: only 44% of variance in observed total scores was due to the common factors. The analyses also indicated different correlates for the general factor and the group factors.Limitations. We administered an Italian version of the ARSQ to a nonclinical sample of adults, so that studies which use clinical populations or the original version of the ARSQ could obtain different results from those presented here.Conclusion. Our results suggest that the construct validity of the ARSQ is disputable and that rejection anxiety and expectancy could bias individuals to readily perceive and strongly react to cues of rejection in different ways.

The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Perceived Movement Skill Competence scales for Iranian children. In particular, the scales aligned with the second and third versions of the Test of Gross Motor Development and the active play skills. The total sample was 314 children aged 4–8 years (Mage = 6.1 years, SD = 1.1). From this, a random sample of 74 were recruited for face validity. The data from the remaining 240 children were used to establish construct validity using Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling. The data from a second random subsample of 126 children were used to investigate Perceived Movement Skill Competence reliability using ordinal alpha coefficients and intraclass correlations coefficients. The majority of children correctly identified the skills and understood most of the pictures. Internal consistency was very good (from 0.81 to 0.95) for all scales and subscales. Test–retest reliability was excellent with intraclass correlation coefficient values above .85. For construct validity, the initial hypothesized models for three-factor (i.e., locomotor, object control, and play skills) and two-factor (i.e., locomotor and object control) models showed a reasonable fit. The pictorial scales for Perceived Movement Skill Competence are valid and reliable for Iranian young children.

While SMEs are globally recognised for their importance in the social and economic development of many economies, their survival and competitiveness has remained a cause for concern. More than half of SMEs in Uganda fail during their first year. Analytical and empirical research on appropriate strategies for SMEs' competitiveness in Uganda is limited. The potential outcomes of CSR engagement such as employee satisfaction, business reputation, and customer loyalty have been found to be positively related to the competitiveness of SMEs. The primary objective of this article is to identify and empirically test the factors that influence the competitiveness of SMEs in Uganda. A structured selfadministered questionnaire was distributed to 750 potential SME respondents. The respondents were identified using purposive sampling technique, and the data were collected from 3 83 usable questionnaires. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted, and Cronbach-alpha coefficients calculated to determine the discriminant validity and reliability of the measuring instrument. Correlations were analysed using Structural Equation Modeling. The empirical results of this study indicate that Employee satisfaction, Business reputation, Customer loyalty and Stakeholder trust significantly impact the competitiveness of SMEs.
