Berkembang pesatnya media sosial telah memberikan ruang bagi para penggunanya untuk melakukan sekaligus mendapatkan kekerasan komunikasi. Kekerasan komunikasi melalui media sosial dapat terjadi pada berbagai kalangan, termasuk di lingkungan kerja dosen. Perilaku ini terjadi baik disengaja ataupun tidak, serta hadir dalam beragam bentuk bukan semata-mata pesan yang berisi caci maki, kebencian, atau perendahan. Pengalaman kekerasan komunikasi di tempat kerja, baik sebagai pengirim maupun penerima, dapat memiliki konsekuensi bagi emosi dan perilaku kerja seseorang. Berkaitan dengan itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sebuah instrumen pengukuran kekerasan komunikasi yang dialami dosen termasuk emosi yang dirasakan dan perilaku kerja yang dapat dipengaruhinya. Pengembangan instrumen dilakukan dengan mengelaborasi komponen-komponen kekerasan komunikasi, emosi, dan perilaku kerja dengan Affective Events Theory. Pengujian instrumen dilakukan terhadap sampel penelitian yang diambil dengan menggunakan teknik stratified random sampling terhadap dosen perguruan tinggi di kota Bandung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat 3 dimensi yang terdiri dari 22 pertanyaan pada variabel kekerasan komunikasi, 2 dimensi yang terdiri dari 14 pertanyaan pada variabel emosi, dan 8 dimensi yang terdiri dari 25 pertanyaan pada variabel perilaku kerja dosen yang valid untuk diukur. Simpulannya adalah bahwa instrument yang dikembangkan pada penelitian ini dapat digunakan dalam penelitian yang mengukur pengaruh kekerasan komunikasi di lingkungan kerja dosen. Penelitian dengan instrumen ini disarankan menggunakan structural equation modelling dengan confirmatory factor analysis.

Two Factors

The school-based assessment (SBA) system is a holistic assessment system that is conducted in schools by subject teachers in assessing the students cognitive (intellect), affective (emotional and spiritual) and psychomotor (physical) aspects. It is in line with the National Philosophy of Education and the Standards-based School Curriculum in Malaysia. In order to evaluate the implementation of SBA, a measurement scale was validated. Questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. 776 primary and secondary school teachers were selected as respondents using stratified random sampling. The data was analyzed with SPSS and AMOS version 18. The aim of this paper was to explore different factor structures of the SBA evaluation scale by using the second-order Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Results indicated that the SBA evaluation model was a valid and reliable scale. The input measurement model was validated with two factors (personnel qualifications and physical infrastructure), process measurement model was validated with six factors (‘attitude’, ‘understanding’, ‘skills’, ‘challenges’, ‘moderation’ and ‘monitoring’) and product measurement model was validated with two factors (‘students’ attitude’ and ‘students’ motivation’). This study provides support for using a valid instrument in evaluating the implementation of SBA in schools. Furthermore, the CFA procedures used supported the conceptual framework set out earlier. Thus, it presents clearly the importance of the evaluation process of any education system to follow all the dimensions outlined in the evaluation model proposed by Daniel Stufflebeam.     Sistem Penilaian Berbasis Sekolah (SBA) adalah sistem penilaian holistik yang dilakukan di sekolah-sekolah oleh guru mata pelajaran dalam menilai kognitif (kecerdasan), afektif (emosional dan spiritual) dan psikomotorik (fisik) siswa. Hal ini sejalan dengan Filsafat Pendidikan Nasional dan Kurikulum Sekolah Berbasis Standar di Malaysia. Dalam rangka untuk mengevaluasi pelaksanaan SBA, skala pengukuran divalidasi. Kuesioner digunakan sebagai instrumen untuk pengumpulan data. Tujuh ratus tujuh puluh enam guru sekolah dasar dan menengah terpilih sebagai responden dengan menggunakan Stratified Random Sampling. Data dianalisis dengan SPSS dan AMOS versi 18. Tujuan dari makalah ini adalah untuk mengeksplorasi struktur faktor yang berbeda dari skala evaluasi SBA dengan menggunakan Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model evaluasi SBA merupakan skala yang valid dan reliabel. Model pengukuran masukan divalidasi dengan dua faktor (kualifikasi personil dan infrastruktur fisik), model pengukuran proses telah divalidasi dengan enam faktor (sikap, pemahaman, keterampilan, tantangan, moderasi dan pemantauan) dan model pengukuran produk divalidasi dengan dua faktor (sikap dan motivasi siswa). Studi ini memberikan masukan untuk menggunakan alat yang sah dalam mengevaluasi pelaksanaan SBA di sekolah-sekolah. Selain itu, prosedur CFA digunakan mendukung kerangka kerja konseptual yang ditetapkan sebelumnya. Dengan demikian, menyajikan dengan jelas pentingnya proses evaluasi dari setiap sistem pendidikan untuk mengikuti semua dimensi yang digariskan dalam model evaluasi yang diusulkan oleh Daniel Stufflebeam.

Contractual Governance

Human capital (HC) plays an important role in modern agriculture. The difference in efficiency of assets explains only about a half of the economic performance of agricultural farms, while the other half relies on HC. Although education and training are the main components of HC, it may also be viewed from the perspective of behavioral theories that were taken under consideration in this study. The role of HC in sustainable farming has not been sufficiently explained when it comes to contractual governance (CG). In this study, the meaning of contractual governance was extended and the eco-contractual governance (ECG) concept was proposed, which stands for CG induced by agri-environmental contracts. The main objective of the article is to confirm the latent concepts of HC and ECG and to verify their correlation in view of the standards imposed by the agricultural policy. To achieve this goal, a structural equation model was developed and simultaneous confirmatory factor analysis with ordinal variables was carried out based on the sample of 674 small farms in Poland. The analysis has confirmed a relatively strong correlation between HC and ECG. It was revealed that training plays a crucial role in this relationship, while economic dependence on agricultural policy weakens the effectiveness of both HC and ECG.

Composite Reliability

Composite reliability, or coefficient omega, can be estimated using structural equation modeling. Composite reliability is usually estimated under the basic independent clusters model of confirmatory factor analysis (ICM-CFA). However, due to the existence of cross-loadings, the model fit of the exploratory structural equation model (ESEM) is often found to be substantially better than that of ICM-CFA. The present study first illustrated the method used to estimate composite reliability under ESEM and then compared the difference between ESEM and ICM-CFA in terms of composite reliability estimation under various indicators per factor, target factor loadings, cross-loadings, and sample sizes. The results showed no apparent difference in using ESEM or ICM-CFA for estimating composite reliability, and the rotation type did not affect the composite reliability estimates generated by ESEM. An empirical example was given as further proof of the results of the simulation studies. Based on the present study, we suggest that if the model fit of ESEM (regardless of the utilized rotation criteria) is acceptable but that of ICM-CFA is not, the composite reliability estimates based on the above two models should be similar. If the target factor loadings are relatively small, researchers should increase the number of indicators per factor or increase the sample size.

Purpose The brand equity pyramid is a theory that explains how people develop loyalty and an attachment to a brand. The purpose of this study is to test whether the predictions made by the theory hold when applied to the brand of ParticipACTION, a Canadian non-profit organization that promotes active living. A secondary objective was to test whether this theory predicted intentions to be more physically active. Design/methodology/approach A research agency conducted a cross-sectional, online brand health survey on behalf of ParticipACTION. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis established the factor structure. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized model. Findings A nationally representative sample of Canadian adults (N = 1,191) completed the survey. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis supported a hypothesized five-factor brand equity framework (i.e. brand identity, brand meaning, brand responses, brand resonance and intentions). A series of structural equation models also provided support for the hypothesized relationships between the variables. Practical implications Though preliminary, the results provide a guide for understanding the branding process in the activity-promotion context. The constructs identified as being influential in this process can be targeted by activity-promotion organizations to improve brand strength. A strong organizational brand could augment activity-promotion interventions. A strong brand may also help the organization better compete against other brands promoting messages that are antithetical to their own. Originality/value This is the first study to test the brand equity pyramid using an activity-promotion brand. Results demonstrate that the brand equity pyramid may be useful in this context.
