Abstract
With a sample of 332 employed adults we tested the factor structure of a 29-item scale proposed by Davis in 1987 to measure seven factors. W hile Davis's work did not support that structure. with the use of conf irmatory factor analysis we found support for a seven-factor structure over that of a six-factor structure.
