Abstract

This article falls within the scope of one of the most recent interpretations of psychometrics, characterized by the concept of “representation”. Formal models and theories to define latent structures represent a particularly important research tool in modern psychometrics, in which psychological disciplines interact with disciplines that envisage formalization, such as mathematics and statistics. The study in question was used as a means of identifying a model that represents the structure of the typical constructs of a set of items in a job satisfaction scale. The results, consistent with the current literature, demonstrate the multidimensional nature of the construct even among the sample population of managerial staff, yet also identify some characteristic dimensions that, while distinct, are strictly correlated.
