Comments for NZ<br />

sample:<br />

0.52 Removing item<br />

CO57. Keeps to<br />

himself/herself<br />

(reverse scored)<br />

would increase alpha<br />

to 0.62. The low<br />

alphas suggested<br />

investigation via<br />

CFA. The results<br />

indicate that the NZ<br />

sample sees two<br />

items, “Treats all<br />

group members as<br />

his/her equals” <strong>and</strong><br />

“Puts suggestions<br />

made by the group<br />

into operation” as<br />

distinct from the other<br />

items.<br />

0.59 Removing item PE68.<br />

Permits the members<br />

to take it easy in their<br />

work (reverse scored)<br />

would increase alpha<br />

to 0.65.<br />

As my data are from single samples <strong>of</strong> businesspeople for two countries, <strong>and</strong> I am<br />

employing surveys developed from large, multinational samples, drawing detailed<br />

conclusions about items is discussed only for recommendations for future<br />

investigations.
