Cronbach's alpha was 0.76 and the item-total correlations of the autonomy factor ranged from 0.23 to 0.47.
Cronbach's alpha was 0.71 and the item-total correlations of the autonomy scale ranged from 0.47 to 0.58.
The income-restricted estimates showed a modest (but not statistically significant job autonomy effect) ranging from AOR 1.17 for 'rarely' to AOR 1.44 for 'never' which was attenuated as income fell and disappeared altogether when restrictions were lifted.
