“…To minimize “not sure” responses, the scale may need to clarify the meaning of the “not sure” response. A past study that scrutinized potential intention of “not sure” responses among Japanese respondents demonstrated that a “not sure” response represents a variety of respondents’ intentions, ranging from an incapability to make a decision due to lack of information, indifference to the topic, self-repression, or an unpleasant feeling when answering the questions (Ishida, 2016). Further studies need to be conducted to clarify the meaning of the “not sure” response and to refine J-CASS question items.…”

Abstract Background The stigma associated with cancer has negative impacts on cancer patients as well as the general public, who have a potential risk of cancer. To the best of our knowledge, a validated measure to assess cancer stigma among the general Japanese population does not exist. Method We translated the Cancer Stigma Scale (CASS) — a 25-item self-administered scale to evaluate stigma related to cancer — into Japanese and examined its psychometric properties. The Japanese version of CASS (J-CASS) was validated among a sample of the general Japanese population through an online survey to validate its test–retest reliability, internal consistency, and concurrent validity. Results A total of 319 responses were included in the analysis. An exploratory factor analysis eliminated two original items but showed a six-factor model (Awkwardness, Severity, Avoidance, Policy Opposition, Personal Responsibility, and Financial Discrimination), which was similar to the original scale. Cronbach's alpha for each factor was satisfactory, ranging from 0.81 to 0.91. The internal correlation coefficients were above 0.70, except for Policy Opposition. The total and subtotal scores of each factor of the J-CASS were significantly associated with respondents’ age, gender, familiarity with cancer patients, and social desirability, demonstrating the scales’ good concurrent validity. A substantial proportion of the participants selected “unsure” for some items of the scale, suggesting a further need for refining the scale. Significance of results This study demonstrated that J-CASS is a reliable and valid measure for evaluating misconceptions and stigma toward cancer in the general Japanese population.

“…The strength of each relationship of exogenous and endogenous is based on statistical computational probability of the input data of the questionnaire survey. If the data provided by the respondents of poor quality then the established relationship will be reflected as not significant and not relevant (Koban et al, 2012;Ishiyaku, Kasim, Harir, 2017). Since in this study's questionnaire the endogenous construct is in section B while exogenous construct is in section C and this may cause unawareness to the respondents on the relationship between these two constructs.…”

This paper presents the development and analysis of Structural Equation Model (SEM) on factors affecting the performance oil & gas company. The model was constructed based on the model framework where it involved 5 groups of independent factors affecting the performance of oil & gas company and one group of dependent of the performance. Data collected from the 100 respondents of questionnaire survey among employees of the company were used in the model development. Assessments at measurement level of the model found that for the 5 most important groups of factors affecting oil & gas company are effective support system (J-group), empowerment (L-group), supporting employees (M-group), creativity and innovation (C-group), and training regularly (T-group). Assessment at structural level involved omitting one group for each iteration to evaluate the effect size and also involved bootstrapping process. It was found the model has achieved the overall model of fit known as GoF with the value of 0.436 indicating large validating power. Hopefully the study contributed either directly or indirectly to the academic and practitioners related to oil & gas industry.

“…This is based on the earlier findings that state that when the parameter estimates of the structural model are good fitness, it means the data has fulfilled the requirements of using structural equation modelling technique for data analysis (Awang, 2015;Frazier et al, 2014;Hamid et al, 2011;Ishiyaku et al, 2016). Secondly, the findings reflected that the universities that have been in place for the last fifteen years are practicing strategies for transforming themselves towards wining the globalized market positions.…”

“…The results of the study further reflected that there is no indirect mediation relationship played by organizational health among the constructs between talent management, and university transformation. However, there is partial mediation effect influenced by organizational health among sustainable leadership and university transformation since the mediation effect is statistically significant (Awang, 2015;Ishiyaku et al, 2016).…”

Research objective: The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between sustainable leadership, talent management and organizational health as predictors of university transformation. This study went further to establish the mediation effect of organizational health as a mediating factor between the exogenous variables (sustainable leadership and talent management) and endogenous variable (university transformation). Research technique and methodology:The study used a cross sectional survey design and the sample of respondents (N=820) was randomly chosen from six universities in which the central region of Uganda. The sample was deemed convenient for this study since the method used for data analysis was structural equation modelling that normally requires a big number of sample population. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to analyze each of the individual constructs used to attain reasonable parameters estimates. The fully fledged structural equation modelling (SEM) was used in the study to analyze the hypothesized structural model and its casual relationships plus the mediation effect between the constructs. Main findings:The findings of the study showed that there is positive relationship between sustainable leadership, talent management and organizational health. However, the relationship between sustainable leadership and university transformation, talent management and university transformation were negatively related. 33Practical implications: It was recommended to educational practitioners, lecturers and policy makers to use this model to harness university transformation. For researchers, it could be used to do further examination of university transformation on other universities both locally and internationally.
