标题：Development of a Cause Analysis Scale (CAS) to Determine the Possible Causes of Performance Factors: The Case of Crime Scene Investigation and Identification Units (CSI)
摘要：This study described the process of developing and validating the cause analysis scale (CAS) that can be utilized by governmental organizations to determine possible causes of performance factors.In the first phase of the study,data collected from 315 CSI officers provided evidence for the validity and reliability of the scale.After exploratory factor analysis,three factors emerged: the workplace,competency,and job value.To confirm the factorial structure of the 25-item CAS,in the second phase,data collected from 1176 CSI officers.The confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the three-factor model was confirmed a good fit with high indices.Followed by the further validation studies,the CAS will be used as a diagnostic tool for researchers,practitioners,and stakeholders to determine performance factors from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
