A total of 655 faculty members took part in this second replication s tudy to analyze the formal properties of the questionnaire. The result s, obtained by using the confirmatory factor analysis technique, suppo rt the three dimensions found in previous analyses of the questionnair e: satisfaction with university institutions, intradepartmental social climate, and relationships with students.
