Moreover, it was intended to search for a latent structure behind the dirty dozen concept. Hence, a questionnaire with 240 items was tested and optimised in two large metal manufacturing companies. In order to find a hidden structure behind the dirty dozen, a factor analysis of all twelve scales was performed ...
