On factor structure of the work involvement construct in the Malaysian context / Johanim Johari, Khulida Kirana Yahya and Abdullah Omar

Studies have conceptualized work involvement as a multidimensional construct. However researchers have so far provided inconclusive agreement on the dimensionality of this latent factor. Therefore, a re-conceptualization of work involvement scale is crucial due to the inconsistencies in the measu...
