X1->Perceived Organizational Support ---H1+--------JS X2->TRST---H2+----JS 1. Look for the negatively worded items and reverse code (Transform-> recode into different variable) 2. Assess the dimensionality (Factor Anaysis): To assess unidimensional, bidemensional. Performed individually on each construct (POS, JS, TRST), hence three fact analysis to KMO statistic has to be 50%, Item loading should be 0.40 (reject anyvariable which is not loaded on each of the factor). Non loaded item to be dropped. If a variable is loaded beyond 0.4 in more than one item is also dropped. Cross loading is also removed. Only loading on single factor. Factor Analysis: Analyse-> Dimension Reduction, Factor, slect JS1 to JS5, dont select total JST. Select KMO button, ask for Varimax (looking for each dimension to be unique) rotation. Click options sort by size, suppress coefficient 0.4 continue. KMO adequacy should be >0.5If communality <0.3 then immediately discard the same. After the item JS3 have been deselected, then dimensions selected1, Considered unidimensional because there is only 1 component. (No need to rotate). Cant be rotated since unidimensional. These four items reflect job satisfaction. * For multidimensional items we will have cross loading. Case2: POS For POS variable: Items which have two components in the rotated component matrix are cross loaded and have to be discarded. In this case it is Item 4, 5, 6. Give names -> Comp 1: POS individual, Comp 2:POS retaliation Case 3: Trust KMO> 0.5. None of the items hv communality <0.3 remove trust variable 1 and 2.

Take note of the variables qualified after dimensionality test. 3. Reliability (Kronbach Analysis): Kronbach alpha should be 0.7. Each factor contributes at Least 50%. Discard items which donot match the reliability statistics. In the scale find the reliability. Analyze Scale Reliability AnalysisSelect only the remaining variables StatisticsScale if Item Deleted Conbach Alpha 0.798..> 0.7 and hence the reliability is checked. Consistency(Homogenity) of the responses from respondents are consistent. (0.798x0.798) 64% consistency. Delete the items if you find that if deleting the variable increases cronbach alpha by 0.05+. JS=1, 2,3, 4, 5 **Dont delete if there is less than 3 items. **Even after doing the above items, if you donot find < 0.7 then it is a limitation of our research. Case 2: POS Do reliability check separately for factors under component 1 and factors under component 2. POS1=Cronbach Alpha: 0.72 POS2=Cronbach alpha: 0.34 Hence go for POS items (1, 2, 3). Case 3: TRST 4. Do Analysis: What analytical tool can we use?? Multiple regression can be used Create new variable->POST(POS Total): Select the sum of POS1,2 and 3(the remaining factors) for this. Similarly do this for TRSTT(Trust Total=trst 5+6+7) and JST(JS Total = JS 1 +2+4+5) In this case the data is already reverse coded, hence there is no need Dimensionality Test:
