† Data from 1,442 respondents who completed 34 scales from a national representative survey of employees of Japan in 2010/2011. “19. Support from family and friends” scale was excluded from the analysis because of non-work environment. Principal factor method was used to extract factors with scree test criterion, and a rotated factor structure with Oblimin method is shown. Factor loadings over 0.50 are underlined.
