Lab Assignment #9 Confirmatory Factor Analysis using AMOS
Goal of Exercise: The goal of this exercise is to introduce how to operationalize the CFA using AMOS. The exercise allows students to learn how to check if the measurement model has acceptable levels of goodness-of-fit and evidence of construct validity. Please review the worksheet for more information & provide necessary AMOS output (Screen shot) to support your answers.
AESHM 510 _CFA using AMOS
Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using AMOS
Goals of Exercise: The goal of this exercise is to introduce how to operationalize the CFA using AMOS. The exercise allows students to learn how to check if the measurement model has acceptable levels of goodness-of-fit and evidence of construct validity.
Data: Use “CFA Lab exercise data_JOB.sav”
Constructs and indicators: We have three constructs – Attitude, Job Satisfaction and Organization Commitment and each construct will be measured by four indicators. Please see the followings.
—————————————————————————————————————–
Attitudes Towards Co-Workers (5 point Likert Scale)
AC1 = How happy are you with the work of your coworkers?
AC2 = How do you feel about your coworkers?
AC3 = How often do you do things with your coworkers on your days off?
AC4 = Generally, how similar are your coworkers to you?
Job Satisfaction (7 point Likert Scale)
JS1 = All things considered, I feel very satisfied when I think about my job.
JS2 = When you think of your job, how satisfied do you feel?
JS3 = How satisfied are you with your current job at HBAT?
JS4 = How satisfied are you with HBAT as an employer?
Organizational Commitment (10 point Likert Scale)
OC1 = My work at HBAT gives me a sense of accomplishment.
OC2 = I am willing to put in a great deal of effort beyond that normally expected to help HBAT be successful.
OC3 = I have a sense of loyalty to HBAT.
OC4 = I am proud to tell others that I work for HBAT.

Please answer the following questions.
1. Draw measurement model using AMOS.
2. Goodness-of-fit
A. Check the goodness-of-fit for the measurement model by using various fit indices
B. Provide a short report regarding the goodness-of-fit of the measurement model.
3. Construct Validity
A. Check convergent validity of the measurement model.
i. Check factor loadings of the indicator. What do they tell you?
ii. Calculated Average Variance Extracted (AVE) for each construct.
iii. Calculated Composite Reliability (CR) for each construct.
B. Check the discriminant validity of the measurement model. What does that tell you? Provide a short report regarding the discriminant validity of the measurement model.
