“…In this study, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted based on the multiple factor first order confirmatory. CFA is the most comprehensive method to test and examine how well the data set fits the measurement (Chawla & Saxena, 2016;Farooq, 2016).…”

The purpose of this paper is to determine the implementation of total productive maintenance in Malaysian automotive industry. 400 questionnaires were distributed to Malaysian automotive industry and 229 were completed, giving a response rate of 57.25%. Based on the developed models, the results of the study provide guidance for effective implementation of total productive maintenance in Malaysian automotive industry. This study makes a new contribution to the Malaysian automotive industry for total productive maintenance implementation. This study provides important information for decision makers to implement total productive maintenance in automotive industry and also provides useful information for future researchers in the total productive maintenance area.

“…At last, we got 356 fully filled and error-free questionnaires. For validity and judging the reliability of measurement, CFA act as a significant factor in management and social science studies (Harrington, 2009;Chawla and Saxena, 2016). The CFA (AMOS v. 23) was used with an intent to examine the fitness of data in the proposed measurement model (Figure 3).…”

“…To achieve model fit, the results of CFA contains x 2 test was checked initially valuing 263.741 at p = 0.249 (p > 0.05) and CMIN/df is 1.059 at df = 249 supporting a good model fit as relative x 2 (x 2 /df) must range in 1-5 to achieve an acceptable model fit (Chawla and Saxena, 2016). For a good model fit the indices such as GFI, AGFI, CFI, RMSEA, TLI and PCFI values must range in between 0 to 1 while RMSEA value should fall below 0.08 (Schumacker and Lomax, 2004).…”

Purpose In the present era of modernization, the social group members interact with each other with selfish and unselfish intents. However, the unselfish means and ends build a long term relationship among people. On the other hand, selfish ends bud out unethical means such as abuses, violence and fights. The situation becomes tough when the same becomes evident among the family relationship and as a consequence the elderly are being treated unfairly. Out of such cases, some are reported and the majority of them remain unreported, which eventually becomes the cause of concern for the social welfare agencies. Thus, this paper aims to examine the elder abuse (EA) tendency in metro, non-metro and religious cities. Design/methodology/approach For this study, a mixed-method approach is used to develop survey instruments, validate findings using qualitative and quantitative data sources for better generalization of results. The present study explored and confirmed the related factors using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis for the establishment of a valid scale of EA. Further, the difference of perceptions among the elders for abuse across the metro, non-metro and religious cities was statistically checked using the ANOVA and post hoc techniques. Findings The present study identified the traces of EA and created a comprehensive understanding of it. The present study manifests the prevailing practices of EA in society by discussing the demerits of dependency and modernization. Moreover, the present study assesses the pervasiveness and the repercussion of dependency and the impact of modernization on EA followed by a discussion on how the victim elders may handle the situation. In the present study, a scale is developed to identify EA because of the dependency of the elderly and the modernization of society. Originality/value Some exclaiming thoughts such as the dependency of elders elevate the chances of EA on one side, while modernization of society hampers the social/family bonding leading to EA. The inconsistent development across the region has created modernization as a significant factor for EA. The level and depth of modernization across locations such as metro, non-metro and religious cities are the cause for varying degrees of EA. Based on the literature review, the present study has sensed the presence of EA in society at large by developing a scale for the aforesaid purpose.

“…The CFA is used in management and social science studies (Harrington, 2009; Chawla and Saxena, 2016) for the establishment of validity and recognizing the reliability of measurement. The CFA acted as a significant statistical tool in management and social science studies (Harrington, 2009; Chawla and Saxena, 2016) for establishing validity and recognizing the reliability of measurement. The CFA is intended to cross verify the fitness of sampled data in the proposed measurement model against the default model of the population.…”

“…This approves that items of CGS, SI and EA are unassociated with each other which is necessary for the establishment of the model. Further, Chawla and Saxena (2016) and Bajpai (2017) suggested achieving a good model fit through CMIN/df value by achieving it in the range of 1–3. The value of CMIN/df of measurement model in the study is 1.103 approving a good model fit.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine elder abuse (EA) tendency in the context of social integration and caregiver stress (CGS). Afterward, the attempt has been made to examine the role of mens rea or intention in the incidence of EA. Design/methodology/approach For examining the opinion on EA through the perspective of the elderly and caregiver, a questionnaire was developed using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Afterward, a z-test was used for analyzing the results obtained from the elderly and caregivers. Findings The results showed that in the context of EA, the opinion of caregivers differs from the elderly. This finding was attributed to the theory of ignorance. Based on this, the legal action for every incidence of EA was discouraged by seeking endorsement from the attachment theory especially for the EA incidences arising due to factors such as social isolation or CGS. Research limitations/implications This research addresses the presence and non-presence of mens rea or intention in the incidence of EA. Future studies may be conducted by taking a sample from two more developed and developing economies. Moreover, based on the findings the recommended framework can be empirically examined by future researchers. Practical implications Understanding the study through the perspective of the caregiver may facilitate the academicians and practitioners in keeping the fabric of relationships stronger among the elderly and caregiver. Originality/value Based on the results obtained from the elderly and caregiver, this study proposes a conceptual framework for examining the EA through the lens of mens rea/intention of the caregiver. It is recommended that initiating legal action for every incidence of EA must be discouraged. However, the incidences such as physical abuse (assault), financial abuse, sexual abuse and alike for which the law itself assumes the presence of intention must not be exempted.
