Abstract | This study represents one phase of a broader research project designed to develop and test the Occupation Analysis Inventory (OAI). The study is basically a replication of an earlier study which derived a set of work dimensions for classifying jobs for educational purposes. Using a new sample of 400 jobs, the present study is designed to determine the stability of the originally derived factor structure and to derive first- and higher-order factors from the OAI ratings of a combined sample of 814 jobs. Evidence of factorial stability was obtained through factor comparisons across the two samples. Although the results were comparable to those obtained in the earlier study, they were not as favorable as expected. Factors derived from the combined sample were found to be more stable than those obtained from the two smaller samples. Factor analyses of seven groups of OAI work elements yielded 90 first-order factors, 88 of which were interpreted. Factor analysis of the first-order factors produced 22 interpretable higher-order factors. It was noted that the factors obtained are subject to a different interpretation than those obtained in the earlier study, in which OAI items were intercorrelated on the basis of estimated attribute--requirement profiles. A related study is VT 015 081. (Author/BH) |
