Table 7. Factor Analysis of Character Traits for Faculty.

Factor loadings show the correlation between traits and components: High loadings (absolute values between 0.5 and 1.0) indicate strong relationships, moderate loadings (0.3-0.5) show moderate relationships, and low loadings (below 0.3) reflect weak relationships. Negative loadings suggest an inverse relationship with the component.
