Proactive Behavior for Teacher in the Eastern Region : A Multilevel Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Keywords:
Proactive behavior for teacher, Multilevel Model Analysis, Eastern regionAbstract
The objectives of this study were to develop multi-level model of proactive behavior for teacher in the eastern of Thailand, and to verify model fit. The model’s variables compose of an external latent variable, proactive behavior, and four internal latent variables which were proactive personality, personal initiative, role breadth self-efficacy, and taking charge. Participants were 500 teachers from 100 schools located in 7 provinces of eastern Thailand selected by multi-stage random sampling. Questionnaires were used as research tool. A multilevel confirmatory factor analysis was used for analyzing the data. Results indicated that the hypothetical model was consistent with the empirical data. Goodness of fit statistics were: Chi-square test (χ2) = 5.586, df = 4, p = 0.232, CFI = 0.997, TLI = 0.990, RMSEA = 0.028, SRMRw = 0.002, and SRMRb = 0.258. At within level of the multi-level model of proactive behavior, Personal Initiative (PIw) had the highest factor loading (β = 0.840), followed by Proactive Personality (PPw; β= 0.700). The lowest factor loading belongs to Taking Charge (TCw; β = 0.353). At school level of the model, Proactive Personality (PPb) had the highest factor loading (β = 0.944), followed by Personal Initiative (Plb ; β = 0.915). The lowest factor loading belongs to Role breadth Self-Efficacy (RSb ; β = 0.569).
