Construct Definition of Task Design and Related Concepts.

Abstract

A procedure is developed and illustrated with job scope perceptions for determining the stability of the factor structure within a data matrix. Emphasis is given to the importance of determining such stability prior to fixing the number of factors desired, rotated and interpreted. The procedure is applied to the four constructs fundamental to this research program. The procedure is suggested as substantially contributing to the validity of the constructs used in organizational behavior and organizational psychology. (Author)
