Abstract
The purposes of this quantitative research were to analyze the second order confirmatory factors of organizational engagement among government university instructor groups. The research participants employed 820 university instructors by using multistage random sampling from 16 universities in Thailand. The data collection tool was a questionnaire that consisted of 3 factors: 18 items on a 5-rating-scale, with discrimination ranging from 0.582-0.797, and a reliability of 0.986. The data was analyzed by using descriptive analysis and second-order confirmatory factor analysis (2nd CFA) by using the Mplus program. The results of the confirmatory factors revealed that the model fit the empirical data and accurate measurement (x2 = 8.212, df = 5, p-value = 0.1449, CFI = 0.998, TLI = 0.995, RMSER = 0.028, SRMR = 0.009). The organizational engagement measurement model consists of three factors and six indicators. The 3 factors with the highest factor loading are: 1) a strong belief in and acceptance of the organization’s goals and values (1.000, R2 = 1.000), 2) a strong desire to maintain membership in the organization (0.900, R2 = 0.810), and 3) a willingness to exert considerable effort on behalf of the organization (0.874, R2 = 0.764), respectively.
