“…Both deductive and inductive processes were used for item generation (Hinkin, 1995(Hinkin, , 1998. Item generation was initiated with the following steps: (1) a comprehensive review of the literature on psychological ownership, possessiveness, and related terms, and (2) discussions with an organization behavior research group consisting of faculty and doctoral students.…”

Viewing psychological ownership as a positive resource for impacting human performance in organizations, the present study investigated the components of an expanded view of psychological ownership. Confirmatory factor analyses on a proposed measure of psychological ownership provided support for a positively-oriented, ''promotion-focused'' aspect of psychological ownership comprised of four dimensions: self-efficacy, accountability, sense of belongingness, and self-identity. In addition, territoriality was examined as a unique and more ''prevention-focused'' form of ownership. Practical implications and suggestions for future research on psychological ownership and positive organizational behavior conclude the article.

“…Moreover, the validity of the scale measured by principal components extraction of factor analysis. Table 2 illustrates the results of principal components extraction which show that item loadings ranging from 0.43 to 0.85, therefore each item of the scale add value per standardized value which is 0.4 (Hinkin, 1995). Add to that, the results of Cronbach's alpha test of the instrument show that the reliability coefficient is 0.82, which means that the scale of financial literacy is reliable per standardized value which determined by Nunnally and Bernstein (1994).…”

Financial risk tolerance is certainly an important topic for researchers, investors and personal financial planners or consultants. This study purposed to investigate the effect of demographic characteristics on financial risk tolerance among Egyptians. A literature review of demographic determinants of financial risk tolerance showed dialectical results. Therefore, this study attempts to clarify the debatable issues in these results by studying the moderating role of financial literacy in relationships among demographic characteristics and financial risk tolerance. The study sample included 386 respondents representing different segments of Egyptian people. Using the hierarchical regression analysis, the results demonstrated that there were significant effects of gender, age, educational level and annual income on financial risk tolerance. Moreover, the financial literacy moderates the relationships among demographic characteristics of individuals and their tendency to take a risk.

The purpose of this study was to review the distinction between formative-and reflective-indicator measurement models, articulate a set of criteria for deciding whether measures are formative or reflective, illustrate some commonly researched constructs that have formative indicators, empirically test the effects of measurement model misspecification using a Monte Carlo simulation, and recommend new scale development procedures for latent constructs with formative indicators. Results of the Monte Carlo simulation indicated that measurement model misspecification can inflate unstandardized structural parameter estimates by as much as 400% or deflate them by as much as 80% and lead to Type I or Type II errors of inference, depending on whether the exogenous or the endogenous latent construct is misspecified. Implications of this research are discussed.
