with a loading of .35. This factor solution included the correlations between errors of TASK3 and TASK4 as their content could be perceived as similar (expertise and responsibility). We followed the individual CFA’s up by comparisons between the model with the following results: M1 versus M2 (∆χ2 (9) = 19.260 p = .024), M2 versus M3 (∆χ2 (1) = 17.033 p < .001), M1 versus M3 (∆χ2 (6) = 36.293 p < .001). Thus, all models are significantly different from each other. Based on the fit indices indicating that M3 (second-order with covariates) has the best fit and the high correlation between task and visual transparency (r = .755, p < .01), we decided that we proceed with an aggregated score of workplace transparency.
Workplace flexibility (WFLEX) was measured by asking respondents to answer the following question: “For Monday through Sunday, which days to you typically work remotely?”. They were presented with a list of the answer possibilities of each weekday. Since BuildCo only operated Monday through Friday, we calculated the sum of remote workdays only based on working days, thus creating a count variable. A higher value of this variable indicated greater use of the workplace flexibility policy. Thereby, we capture workplace flexibility as a degree rather than a dichotomous representation (O’Leary & Cummings, 2007).
