was a great deal of inter-dependence among the predictor<br />

constructs. This, of course, led to some analytic concerns, in<br />

particular about whether the cohesion construct correlations with<br />

the criteria were independent or due to the influence of some<br />

underlying factor or other construct. An examination of all the<br />

construct inter-correlations and exploratory factor analyses<br />

suggested that there might be a soldier general perception of job<br />

conditions accounting for the level of inter-correlation. To<br />

investigate this possibility, the correlations were re-computed<br />

controlling for the mean platoon job satisfaction. The results<br />

are shown in Tables 2.a. and 2.b.<br />
