This work-in-progress research study examines the response patterns of first-generation college students (FGCS) to the engineering identity measures compared to non-first-generation college students (non-FGCS). This work answers the following research question, “Do FGC and non-FGC engineering students interpret the engineering identity measurement items in a conceptually different manner?” We explore...
Political scientists often talk about "ideological dimensions" that aggregate related policy issues into a single latent construct. Typical examples of ideological dimensions are (economic) Left versus Right and (socially) liberal versus conservative. In this paper I show how individual issues may be aggregated into three ideological dimensions in England by drawing from opinion data derived...
The purpose of this paper is to develop a measurement model to measure student perceptions of service quality among skills training institutes in Malaysia. The data used in this study were derived from a questionnaire survey conducted among students of seven skills training institutes. A total of 419 usable responses was received. The measurement model was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis...
The aim of this study is to examine the factor structure of the scale of Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), and its divergent and convergent validity in Chinese population. Data were collected with JSS from 1073 urban employees in Liaoning. Four alternative models were tested with confirmatory factor analysis. The first two models are models validated in the US, while the third and fourth models are composed...
This study explores vacation information value structure relating to tourists (in this study-Changsha residents). To delineate structures for the pretrip information value, five information value dimensions (pragmatism, risk avoidance, hedonism social and self-actualization) were identified through a review of the literature. Using the five value dimensions, two models were proposed for pretrip information...
This study presents a conceptual model that combines perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, familiarity, adoption intention and the actual consumers' adoption in order to predict user mobile transaction acceptance regarding mobile buying products and making reservations. The proposed model is empirically tested using data collected from a survey in Greece. The structural equation modeling is...
Using two Chinese samples, we retested the dimensionality of affect, tested the resultant model's structure validity, and examined the generalizability of subjective well-being using correlation analysis and factor analysis. We found empirical support for the independence of positive and negative affect which were not bipolar opposites on the same affect spectrum. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated...
During recent years, information technology has made several fundamental changes in different business areas. For instance, the learning methods have been completely changed. The use of digital material in education, business life and government has risen significantly in recent years. As e-learning environments are becoming increasingly popular, the need and call for digital content is also expanding...
This paper intends to develop a scale for market orientation of nonprofit organizations (NPOs). Scale items are generated by field interviews and pilot test. Statistical software packages like SPSS13.0 and LISREL8.7 are used to conduct exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis on the questionnaires finished by top managers from NPOs. The final nonprofit market orientation (NMO)...
The authors of this paper developed and validated a scale measuring cohesion at the organizational level. The scale, organizational cohesion inventory (OCI), includes six dimensions with 18 items. The discriminant validity and convergent validity of OCI were assessed by several methods including CFA, alternative models comparison, AVE, confidence interval, and Fisher's Z- transformation. The results...
