100.000 Extraction Method: Principal Component Analysis.
Satisfaction with administration, years working in the institution, years of formal education and span of control are found to load on component category five of the female sample. This component category was termed ‘management’ because of the alignment of the other variables with the span of control item. Years of formal education together with span of control were found to load together in a contrast with job satisfaction on component category five of the male sample. This component category was also termed ‘management’ due to the presence of the span of control item. However, the job dissatisfaction loading on this component category (only for male academics) was considered an interesting and unexpected gender difference. Preference for quantitative methods was found to load strongly on component category six of the female sample. However, it was a singlet and was therefore not interpreted. Satisfaction with administration and dependent children were found to load on component category six of the male sample. However, this was taken to be a doublet and was also not interpreted. Table 6 shows the differences in the factor structure based on the interpretations of the component categories.
