| Summary: | This study dealt with a social network analysis approach to comprehend the work attitude amongst academicians
in the Malaysian public universities. This work attitude presented the psychological attachment between the
employee and the organization. The organizational commitment and workplace spirituality amongst the
academicians were highlighted here. A total of 40 factors were found to represent four groups of workplace
spirituality and organizational commitment. The similarity amongst the factors was measured with two different
kinds of associations. The best measure of association, which was the Tschuprow’s measure of association,
showed better results than the other measure in measuring the correlation amongst the factors. The connections
and relationships amongst the factors were studied by using minimum spanning trees (MST). The interpretation
of the MST was conducted by using the overall centrality measure. |
