Exploratory Factor Analysis: Influence Resources Among Teachers in Kelantan Malaysia
2019
In the face of the public, having certain types of
influence is perceived to may help practitioners and even
ordinary employees to draw the people’s attention into believing
the news or story which spreads to serve any particular purpose.
However, it is believed that previous researchers are yet to
develop a set of items that can help to interpret the role of
influence and power dimension among employees. This study
aims to identify the key factors that can help to affirm the
suitability of a set of items namely Influence Resources Scale
(IRS). A total of 187 respondents consisting of school teachers in
Kelantan had voluntarily participated in providing feedbacks
towards the Influence Resources Scale (IRS). The completed
questionnaires were analysed in the exploratory factor analysis
procedure to identify the role of influence and power dimension
among employees. A principal component analysis procedure
along with the varimax rotation was conducted. The factors
generated from the procedure are Relational: Internal,
Informational: Access to Information, Individual: Skills, and
Individual: Professional. The study concludes that the four
–factors derived from principal component analysis with varimax
rotation can help to assess the role of Influence Resources
among Teachers in Kelantan, Malaysia. The study also suggests
that the Influence Resources Scale (IRS) can be replicated to
other local and Asian respondents as a predicting factor towards
additional variables such as gossip engagement and individual
work performance.
