Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This present study describes the structure factors and examines the validity and reliability of a scale on the assessment of the job behaviour of Physical Education graduates who work for Fitness Clubs and Municipal Sports Organizations. The questionnaire structure is based on the basic characteristics of the contextual performance theory. This framework describes the professional behaviours which assist, strengthen and promote individuals, teams and corporate performance. The questionnaire is constituted by eleven (11) questions on three factors: Interpersonal relationships, Communication and Professionalism. The questionnaire was distributed to the managers of fitness clubs and to the directors of Municipal Sports Organizations, who assess the job behaviour of 481 Physical Education graduates. The exploratory factor analysis was carried out (n=161), which supported the existence of three factors that interpret the 75.636% of the total variance. The confirmatory analysis was conducted (n=320) and the internal consistency was checked with the Cronbach alpha index which gave: a=.90 for relationships, a=.87 for communication and a=.78 for professionalism. The questionnaire adaptation indicators [χ2 = 147.609, p<.001, Satorra-Bentlerχ2 = 112.306, p<.001, df 40, χ2 /dfratio = 2.808, NNFI = .927, CFI = .947, RCFI = .936, IFI = .947, SRMR = .060, RMSEA = .092 (90% CIofRMSEA = .076 - .108)] exceeded the limits of good adaptation and supported the existence of three correlated factors. In conclusion, the findings suggest that the specific questionnaire is reliable and valid. It is a sufficient tool that can be used in the assessment of job behavior, and in the management of job performance employees in fitness clubs and athletic organizations.
