If these types of items are implemented in smaller-scale projects to measure vocational competencies, some of the added constraints may not apply (translation and adaptation, for instance).
With this purpose, the mentioned items are implemented in a DEA model of efficiency, being the inefficient cities with an efficiency score lower than 100% defined as non-sustainable ones.
Cash programs for water and sanitation, shelter, and non-food items were implemented on a smaller scale, with transfers provided in less than eight sub-districts over a 1- to 2-month period.
A questionnaire battery including standardized measures and custom preference rating items was implemented among a cross section of patients accessing (one of) three hospital outpatient services.
EFA for all 182 candidate items was implemented on the first random subsample (n = 1045) in order to determine the optimal factor solution for the item set and to identify poorly perfoming items for deletion.
Reduction of the Padua Inventory Revised to 12 items was implemented by selecting two items from each of the five Padua Inventory Revised subscales with highest factor loadings in a previous validation study (van Oppen et al., 1995) and adding another two items for each of the more equivocal obsession subscales: rumination and impulses.
We measured the extent to which each item was implemented in the organizations using a Likert scale ranging from 1 (to a very little extent) to 5 (to a great extent).
Based on the scale reliability and internal consistency measures, one item ('when this change is implemented, I don't believe there is anything for me to gain') was reallocated from the 'appropriateness' construct to the 'personal valence' construct.
As a third factor, the variable employee integration, EMPLOYEE, captures items covering how good CSR is implemented as a participative organizational concept.
