Factor loadings of the items in relation to the factor solution. Extraction was performed using the minimum residuals method with oblimin rotation. Only primary loadings ≥0.40 are displayed. Factor labels follow the retained 3-factor solution. Factor 3 should be interpreted with caution because of a boundary estimate for Item 8. Factor 2, representing task satisfaction/environment, was defined by Item 13 (0.763), Item 6 (0.745), and Item 17 (0.626), with higher uniqueness for Item 17 (0.593). Factor 3, representing self-realization, was defined by Item 8 (1.002; boundary estimate) and Item 12 (0.722).
