Contributions of placement, retraining and motivation to teachers' job commitment: structural equation modelling of the linkages

Socioeconomic factors and the evaluation of HIV/AIDS prevention programs: A psychometric analysis of an instrument

“…With 276 degrees of freedom, Bartlett's sphericity test returned a Chisquare value of 1,798.67, which was statistically significant at the .05 alpha level. This indicates no redundancy of parameters and that the observed correlation matrix deviates from the identity matrix, showing that ML's data reduction is appropriate [64,65]. After six iterations, convergence was achieved with a four-factor solution cumulatively accounting for 71.81% of the overall variance.…”

Discharge of pedagogic duties: a bootstrapped structural equation modelling of teachers’ use of research materials in school libraries

“…Their framework and the suggested indicators were followed to develop the items pooled for the current instrument. Similarly, several other measures and scales were used to increase the number of potential items (e.g., Bhat & Beri, 2016;Carlos & Rodrigues, 2016;Limon & Nartgün, 2020;Owan et al, 2020Owan et al, , 2022bYusoff et al, 2014). Teachers responded to the ULRMS, which comprised 10 library research materials, by rating the frequency at which they utilise them.…”

“…Items in the TPSDQ were developed to cover eight pedagogic areas since the construct is multidimensional. Although studies, particularly those in the national literature, use shallow measures that treat teachers' job performance as a unidimensional construct (e.g., Akhtar & Iqbal, 2017;Arop et al, 2019;Edo & David, 2019;Ereño & Nunez, 2014;Pari & Azalea, 2020), the construct has been widely proven to be multidimensional in several studies (e.g., Ali & Haider, 2017;Amin et al, 2013;Mehmood et al, 2013;Owan et al, 2020Owan et al, , 2022bYusoff et al, 2014). In the current study, we developed an instrument to measure teachers' discharge of pedagogic duties, a dimension of teachers' job performance.…”

“…School-related variables often considered in the literature in the discussion of teachers' service discharge include school location, size, ownership (Masci et al, 2018), organisational culture (Emengini et al, 2020), management practices (Arop et al, 2020;Duan et al, 2018). Variables connected to the school managers that are often considered in the literature as correlates of teachers' service discharge are personnel management, management of library resources, discipline control, leadership styles, employee work-life policies, mentorship, staff psychological empowerment, staff retraining, motivation and placement, quality assurance, (Limon & Nartgün, 2020;Oguntimehin et al, 2018;Owan et al, 2020Owan et al, , 2022b. Others include internal marketing, supervision, communication skills, participatory management practices and administrative competence, hazard, conflict management and school resource management (Asuquo & Ekpoh, 2018;Duyan, 2020;Edet et al, 2017;Muñoz et al, 2019Muñoz et al, , 2021Tayebwa et al, 2021;Yao et al, 2020).…”

These dimensions are classroom discipline, commitment, communication effectiveness, effective leadership, extracurricular activities, instructional delivery, lesson preparation, classroom monitoring/inspection, students' motivation, student evaluation, teaching competence, teaching methods and use of teaching aids (Adeyemi, 2010;Bassey et al, 2019;Ekpoh & Eze, 2015;Owan & Agunwa, 2019).…”
