An Analysis of Confirmatory Factors of High-performance Organization in External Education Quality Assurance

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the confirmatory factors of a high-performance organization in external education quality assurance. The sample  used for the research consisted of 1,452 participants, including educational administrators from all levels and types of education, external evaluators, and evaluation regulatory units, selected through simple random sampling. The research tool was a measurement of the characteristics of a high-performance organization in external education quality assurance. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The research findings revealed that the results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the high-performance organization in external education quality assurance comprised three components: Strategy (Strategy of External Assurance in Education), System (System of External Assurance in Education), and Performance (Performance of External Assurance in Education Organization). The model fit indices were as follows: Chi-square (X²) = 210.174, df = 114, X²/df (CMIN/DF) = 1.844, p-value = 0.000, RMR = 0.011, SRMR = 0.018, RMSEA = 0.024, and CFI = 0.995, indicating that the confirmatory factor analysis of the high-performance organization in external education quality assurance aligns with empirical data. This model is named PSSHPO: High Performance Organization System andStrategy of External Assurance in Education Model.
