56 CHAPTER 2. RPE AT THE BUSINESS UNIT MANAGER LEVEL<br />

To estimate contractibility, I calculate the factor score weights in AMOS. Table 2.18 gives<br />

these weights for predicting the unobserved variable from the (formative and reflective)<br />

observed variables, with which contractibility is calculated.<br />

Table 2.18: Weights for Construction of Contractibility Measure<br />

Goal clarity .585<br />

Measurability of outputs .522<br />

Knowledge of transformation process .252<br />

Difficulty to reach agreement output quality (reversed) .807<br />

Difficulty to assess work (reversed) .862<br />

Job performance .319<br />

Based on the estimated weights, contractibility is calculated using the formula presented<br />

below. Contractibility is added to the analyses in section 4 of this chapter.<br />

Contractibility = 0.585 * goal clarity + 0.522 * measureability of outputs +<br />

0.252 * knowledge of transformation process + 0.807 * difficulty to reach agreement<br />

output quality + 0.862 * difficulty to assess work + 0.319 * job performance
