3. Discussion of Findings
Using the data that were collected as a result of the responses from the
seafarers to the “Favoritism in Ship crew management Scale”, the scale
was tested for validity and reliability. To test the suitability of the
data for factor analysis, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) (sampling sufficiency
statistic) and Bartlett’s Sphericity (BS) Test results were examined.
The KMO value needs to be higher than 0.60, and its significance value
needs to be smaller than 0.05. As a result of finding the KMO value as
0.946, it was determined that the dataset was suitable and excellent for
factor analysis.
