Abstract
The major purpose of the study was to develop an instrument to assess the organizational environment at university level in
Pakistan. The data were collected from 336 teachers working at four public sector universities in the province of the Punjab.
Items were derived from the relevant literature. The Organizational Environment Scale (OES) includes major components as
internal environment, professional development, team work, guidance and support, facilitations, participation and coordination, and rewards and benefits. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using Asymptotic Covariance Matrix,
Polychoric Correlation Matrix, and Weighted Least Squares Estimation was employed to validate the OES instrument.
LISREL 8.3 was used to conduct Confirmatory Factor Analyses. Fit indices for Organizational Environment Scale indicated
an adequate model. Factor loadings for each item had the thresholds value of 0.35. Correlation values among the latent
factors were significant at 5%.
