Most of the scales used in the study showed good internal consistency. The alpha
for the attitudes towards change scale was 0.92, whereas the alphas for the ASSET
ranged from 0.49 (Aspects of the job) to 0.80 (Work Relationships). Due to the fact that
the “Work-Life Balance”, “Job Security” and “Aspects of the Job” sub-scales
demonstrated very low internal consistency (below 0.60) they were not included in the
subsequent analyses. The alpha for the Overall Job Stress Index used in the current
study is 0.89. Similarly, the alpha reliability coefficients for the Organizational
Commitment subscales were also acceptable.
