Abstract:
This study investigated the factor structure of the Work-Related Flow Inventory (WOLF) through the application of the bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling (B-ESEM) framework. Using a sample of 577 Chinese teachers, we contrasted a series of competing models, including CFA, ESEM, bifactor CFA, and B-ESEM models. The results suggested that the B-ESEM structure with three S-factors (absorption, work enjoyment, and intrinsic work motivation) and one G-factor (global flow) was the best representation of the WOLF ratings. The results also supported the composite reliability and the strict invariance of this measurement structure between male and female groups. Relative to males, female teachers showed a higher level of global work-related flow experience. Finally, the nomological validity of WOLF ratings was supported by the statistical relationships of the WOLF factors with job satisfaction and autonomy.
摘要:
本研究通过应用双因素探索性结构方程模型(B-ESEM)框架,调查了与工作相关的流量清单(WOLF)的因素结构。使用577名中国教师的样本,我们对比了一系列竞争模型,包括CFA,ESEM,双因素CFA,和B-ESEM模型。结果表明,B-ESEM结构具有三个S因子(吸收,工作享受,和内在工作动机)和一个G因子(全球流量)是WOLF评级的最佳代表。结果还支持了男女群体之间这种测量结构的综合可靠性和严格的不变性。相对于男性,女教师表现出更高水平的全球工作相关流程经验。最后,WOLF评分的法理有效性得到了WOLF因素与工作满意度和自主性的统计关系的支持.
