Factorial Structure and Measurement Invariance for the Arabic Organizational Justice Scale: A Comparative Study between Kuwait and Algeria
Auther : Othman Al-Khudur Fares Zin Alabedin Hisham Gadelrab
The aim of the current study was is to investigate the four-factor structure of the Arabic measure of organizational justice (AMOJ) (Alkhadher Gaderab, 2016) with an Algerian sample. Additionally, the study aims at verification of the psychometric properties of the AMOJ in Algeria and Kuwait. The study sample consisted of 1160 employees working in the public sector in Kuwait (n=728; 342 males and 296 females) and Algeria (n=432; 194 males and 238 females). Mean Age of the Kuwaiti subsample was 33.4 (sd=8.2) and for the Algerian subsample was 36.3 (sd=9.5). The AMOJ was administered to both subsamples in fall of 2015. The resutls of multiple-sample confirmatory factor analyses results have emphasized the existence of the four-factor structure in both Kuwaiti and Algerian samples. Items belonging to each of the four factors were significantly loaded to their expected factors. Moreover, the AMOJ factors showed acceptable values of internal consistency coefficients in both subsamples. Finally, results showed that the configurative and metric measurement invariance was achieved; however, the highest level of measurement invariability and scalar invariability were not achieved.
