  1. Factor analysis applied on 4,760 observations (core employees, supervisors and managers). Factors have been orthogonally rotated. Factors loadings larger than 0.4 appear in bold. None of the standard deviations are equal to one. This is purely a theoretical result, only achievable if the original variables are perfect linear combinations of the factors. Cronbach’s Alpha measures internal consistency of the factors by considering inter-item correlation
