An investigation into the internal structure underlying the organisational diagnostic questionnaire (ODQ)

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates the internal structure that underlies the ODQ. A structural
model that explicates the nature of the causal linkages between the six main
constructs comprising the ODQ was developed and tested. Data obtained from
273 employees in a chrome manufacturing plant was used. This research found
that the proposed model offers a plausible account of the influences that exist
between the six main constructs. The benefit of this structural model will be in
the enhanced interpretation of the diagnostic results derived from the ODQ. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie stel ondersoek in na die interne struktuur wat onderliggend is aan
die Organisasie Diagnostiese Vraelys (ODV). ‘n Strukturele model wat die
onderliggende kousale verhoudings van die ses hoofkonstrukte van die ODV
blootlê, is ontwikkel en getoets. Data van 273 werknemers, verbonde aan ‘n
chroom vervaardigingsaanleg, is gebruik. Die navorsing toon dat die
voorgestelde model ‘n aanneemlike weergawe is van die onderliggende
verhoudings wat tussen die ses hoofkonstrukte bestaan. Die voordeel van die
voorgestelde model lê daarin dat dit die interpretasie van resultate, wat uit die
diagnose verkry is, kan verbeter.
