Since the MedChemExpress Oleandrin surveys were distributed through online mechanisms, it was not possible to determine the response rate, SB-366791 biological activity non-response bias or to draw conclusions on the reasons for those who dropped out. Qualtrics, a web platform was used to host the survey. A total of 1,143 IT professionals completed the survey. Accounting for returned emails and incomplete responses, 795 usable surveys were included in the study, yielding a 70.0 rate for completed surveys.Measurement ModelData ScreeningRelevant statistical assumptions necessary for subsequent analyses were checked and no violations of assumptions were uncovered. The data screening included handling missing data and addressing outliers and influentials. The analyses showed that the items comprising the RBSE, ESCI-U, PNEA, and UWES were normally distributed around their mean. After reviewing all of the data, a couple of outliers were found that were then removed because of cross loadings and low primary loadings.Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor AnalysisExploratory factor analysis (EFA) was utilized to see how many factors would explain the patterns among the interrelationships of the items and reduce the number of variables into more manageable factors and examine the convergent and discriminant validity of the constructs. First, 98 of items correlated at least 0.30 or higher with at least one other item, suggesting reasonable factorability. Second, the Kaiser-MeyerOlkin measure of sampling adequacy was 0.952, above the recommended value of 0.60, and Bartlett’s test of sphericity was significant (32476.489, p < 0.001). There were 11 nonredundant residuals with absolute values greater than 0.05. The diagonals of the anti-image correlation matrix were all over 0.50, supporting the inclusion of each item in the factor analysis. Finally, the communalities were all above 0.40 further confirming that each item shared some common variance with other items. There were a significant number of correlations greater than 0.30 were observed, suggesting non-orthogonality. The analysis was continued with an oblique rotation using principle axis factoring (PAF). A promax rotation provided the best-defined factor structure. A factor-loading threshold of 0.40 was set (Hair et al., 2010) and the results showed all items had primary loadings over 0.60 with low and cross loadings of 0.30 or above. Due to both low and cross loading, the variables of emotional selfawareness were sequentially deleted from the analysis until an acceptable model emerged1 . Other solutions were examined, however, the 14 factor solution, which explained 63.895 of the variance, was preferred because of its theoretical support, the `leveling off ' of Eigen values on the scree plot after 14 factors, and the number of primary loadings on their hypothesized factors. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted in AMOS. Using the dataset, significance and several model fit measures were tested. The original measurement model had 100 variables associated with 15 constructs. The Browne udeck criterion (BCC) test of close fit was used and the BCC value was compared across the hypothesized model (Browne and Cudeck, 1993). The 90 confidence level was 0.035?.037, lower than the saturated model, suggesting a good fit (Floyd and Widaman, 1995). Steiger1 It should be noted I held the tolerance for the factors to 0.7, but the ESCI instrument has been d.Sent, one email was sent after 2 weeks and a second email after 4 weeks.
