## Derived scores

Each composite is the mean of its original five scale items. Higher scores indicate more of the construct. There are no reverse-scored items or missing values in this version. Do not change a scale solely to raise alpha; document and review an EFA result that challenges the intended structure before changing it.

`job_autonomy` = mean(q1_1, q1_2, q1_3, q1_4, q1_5)

`supervisor_support` = mean(q2_1, q2_2, q2_3, q2_4, q2_5)

`work_engagement` = mean(q3_1, q3_2, q3_3, q3_4, q3_5)
