Psychometry Properties in Measuring Organizational Commitment

Abstract

The diversity of perspectives and methods used in the conceptualization and measurement of organizational commitment makes it challenging to interpret the findings of research studies.  The psychological state of organizational members can be determined by at least three key factors, which are crucial for their survival within the organizational community.  This study will investigate the psychometric properties of organizational commitment by recruiting 99 students from various organizations. The objective of this research is to determine the validity and reliability of the scale. To achieve this, the Conformational Factorial Analysis (CFA) test will be administered. The analysis results indicate that the KMO and Bartlett's Test score is 0.939, the Anti-Image Matrices score for the 17 items is above 0.50, 17 items have commonality scores above 0.50, and the Total Variance Explained, which accounts for 79.863% of the organizational commitment scale, is influenced by other factors. The final factor analysis yielded 17 valid items with a Cronbach's alpha scale reliability of 0.967. Unfortunately, three items scored below 0.50 and were excluded from the analysis.
