Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
This study aims to interpret the suitability of a six-point Likert scale for the modified and adjusted workplace happiness scale developed by Pryce-Jones (2010) in Malaysian school settings. A total of 300 trained of daily ordinary secondary school teachers were randomly selected in Northern Peninsular Malaysia. All the samples were then randomly divided into two groups with each group consist of 150 teachers. This study adopted the questionnaire iOpener People Performance Questionnaire (iPPQ) built by Pryce-Jones (2010) to be used as an instrument to measure the constructs of workplace happiness using a six-point Likert scale from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". All the data obtained were analyzed using 'multifaceted' Model Rash MINIFAC (FACET student version built by Linacre, 1999-2002). The findings showed that both samples have reliability (Sample 1 = 0.95, sample 2 = 0.94) and reliability of response (Sample 1 = 0.91, sample 2 = 0.86) was good. The six-response categories “1-Strongly Disagree, 2-Disagree, 3-Less Agree, 4-Somewhat Agree, 5-Agree and 6-Strongly Agree” are working well from the Malaysian Schools settings
