Exploratory factor analysis EFA was employed to determine whether the survey questions relating to unethical buyer behavior are actually measuring a single-dimension construct. The results from the EFA suggest the presence of two meaningful factors. The first factor or dimension includes survey items addressing such activities as using obscure contract terms to gain advantage over the supplier and purposefully misleading the supplier. The first dimension seems to consist of activities involving deception, and is subsequently labeled ‘Deceitful Practices’.
