Abstract

This paper reports on the construct validity of an instrument initially developed to measure five dimensions of morale among Australian teachers. Using factor analysis, the authors confirm earlier findings that this instrument (the Staff Morale Questionnaire) taps only three dimensions—cohesive pride, leadership synergy, and personal challenge. The dimensional structure appears also to be stable across different samples of teachers.
