Out-of-class involvement provides students with opportunities for rich social lives which, according to Cheng (2004), are closely associated with sense of campus community. Based on Astin's (1984) Theory of Involvement, and Boyer's (1990) principles of community, the purpose of this study was to examine how involvement in out-of-class activities influences students' perceived sense of campus community. Three hundred and thirty respondents completed an on-line questionnaire which consisted of demographics and questions related to their out-of-class involvement in 14 areas as identified by the institutions' Dean of Students Office, and a 25-item sense of community scale developed by Cheng (2004). Out-of-class involvement levels were examined using a hierarchical cluster analysis. Explorat...

We developed the Knowledge Strategy Orientation Scale (KSOS) to overcome some of the methodological problems inherent in strategic management research: an over-reliance on archival data, the use of single-item measures, and the wildly varying use of proxy measures for focal constructs. This article presents a psychometric evaluation of survey items based upon theoretical insights provided by Holmqvist (2004), March (1991), Levinthal and March (1993), Bierly and Chakrabarti (1996), and Zack (1999) regarding firms' knowledge strategies. In a pre-test, principal axis factor analysis on one sample of respondents from 98 different firms indicates that two factors explain a majority of the variance in the eight items and that each item intended to measure Exploration and Exploitation loaded o...

This study examined the factor structure of the 22-item Customer Orientation (Organizational Climate) scale developed by Kelley (1992). The scale was administered in a sample of Australian public sector service organization employees (n = 259). Exploratory factor analysis provided evidence that the scale is multidimensional, although a number of items in the 22-item scale cross-loaded on two factors. Removal of eight items resulted in a 14-item two-factor scale with all items loading cleanly on a single factor. The first factor related to aspects of competence which allow an employee to perform at a satisfactory level, while the second factor concerned elements of the environment in which the service is performed. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor structure. Reliabil...
