“…They extracted principal components followed by orthogonal rotation. However, principal components analysis combined with orthogonal rotation leads to inLated factor loadings, and a less than optimal factor solution (Boyle, 1988;Boyle, Stankov, & Cattell, 1995;Cattell, 1978;Child, 1990;Gorsuch, 1983Gorsuch, , 1990McDonald, 1985). Moreover, the dimensions of humour are not likely to be independent of one another.…”

The effects of humour on health were investigated using a sample of 504 individuals comprising three groups (community group, university students, and respondents with a medical condition). Hypotheses were: that after controlling for other variables, humour would be significantly associated with health: that individuals with a greater sense of humour would report significantly higher levels of good health as compared with those with less humour; and that the assessment of the factor structure of the Multidimensional Sense of Humour Scale (MSHS) would support its construct validity in the Australian context. The present findings supported the view that a sense of humour is associated with health, and also provided support for the validity and reliability of the MSHS instrument.

“…The intercorrelation matrix for 14 items was submitted to an exploratory factor analysis using principal axis analysis with a varimax rotation (Boyle, Stankov, & Cattell, 1995). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin ratio (KMO= .86) was high.…”

Preliminary Organizational Culture Scale Focused on Artifacts

In this preliminary study, an Organizational Culture Scale was developed to assess cultural artifacts according to Schein's typology (1985). It includes a set of cultural artifacts to measure the extent to which an organization is more or less traditional. A total of 249 managers from a range of different companies responded to the items. Preliminary analysis yielded a one-dimensional scale with 14 items with high internal consistency and homogeneity.

“…Principal axis factor analysis (Boyle, Stankov, & Cattell, 1995) revealed unitary solutions for the innovative leadership and communication scales, and also for the climate of fear scale. In the latter respect, one factor accounted for 31.1% of variance (Eigen value = 4.04).…”

Climate of fear in organisational settings: construct definition, measurement and a test of theory

This paper reports a study that explored a new construct: ‘climate of fear’. We hypothesised that climate of fear would vary across work sites within organisations, but not across organisations. This is in contrast a to measures of organisational culture, which were expected to vary both within and across organisations. To test our hypotheses, we developed a new 13‐item measure of perceived fear in organisations and tested it in 20 sites across two organisations (N ≡ 209). Culture variables measured were innovative leadership culture, and communication culture. Results were that climate of fear did vary across sites in both organisations, while differences across organisations were not significant, as we anticipated. Organisational culture, however, varied between the organisations, and within one of the organisations. The climate of fear scale exhibited acceptable psychometric properties.
