Notes

1To facilitate interpretation, particular items were reflected such that high scores on role ambiguity, role conflict, work overload, EE, DP, and external locus of control represented negative perceptions, and high scores on the remaining constructs represented positive perceptions.

2The need for parceling in this study stemmed from two related factors: (a) space restrictions of SEM software programs at the time these analyses were conducted placed heavy limitations on the allowable size of the overall covariance matrix; and (b) the enormous number of single items across all measurement scales would yield an impossibly large covariance matrix that could not be accommodated by SEM programs at that time.

3For example, it may be that to attain a more appropriate CFA model in representing the data at hand, the specification of a cross-loading or error covariance is needed.

4 As previously noted, the present version of Amos provides no mechanism for excluding MIs such as these from the output file.

5Of course, had a nonrecursive model represented the hypothesized model, then such feedback paths would be of interest.

6Had we left that factor in, we would have gained five degrees of freedom due to the deletion of five structural paths, thereby changing the number of degrees of freedom to 436.
