Abstract

The effort to conduct relationship-flourishing studies in certain populations is hindered by a lack of psychometrically sound assessment measures. Scales need to be validated across wider populations. This study examined the psychometric properties of an Arabic-translated version of the widely used Relationship Flourishing Scale (RFS). The RFS is a measure flourishing instrument that aims to assess four critical dimensions of flourishing: meaning, relational giving, goal sharing, and personal growth. This study was a cross-sectional study using a non-probabilistic sample of the married population. Participants were included if they identified as United Arab Emirates (UAE) and were at least 18 years old. Participants completed the Arabic relationship flourishing scale (RFS). The final sample comprised 708 participants. The average age was 31.77 years (SD= 9.79), ranging from 18 to 69, and 32% of the participants were men. The study investigated the content validity of the RFS by using content validity indexing. Ten expert panels translated and back-translated the RFS and rated the degree of relevance of every item based on the five-point scale provided in the content validation form. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the Arabic version of the relationship flourishing scale had a fourdimensional factors structure. The a =.87, composite reliability .88, and average variance extracted .53 showed excellent values. CFA was conducted to test four-dimensional structures of FS, showing excellent goodness of fit (X2/df = 2.11, p ¡.000, CFI = .93, TLI =.92, RMSEA =.08, and 90% RMSEA CI. It contributes to a wider research approach within relationship research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Low productivity is a persistent challenge in diverse industries, necessitating ongoing efforts to identify and rectify its underlying causes. Factors influencing productivity, such as workplace conditions and management practices, are of paramount importance. This study focuses on the crucial steel industry, which plays a foundational role in the economic development of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), serving as a catalyst for numerous associated businesses. The primary objective is to conduct an in-depth exploration of the factors affecting productivity within the UAE's steel industry. This research aims to comprehensively identify these factors, assess their relative significance, and evaluate their impacts using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a decision-making methodology to provide insights that can empower productivity improvement initiatives and enhance the overall efficiency of the steel manufacturing system. According to the outcomes of the research, visionary management (with a weightage of 24.28%), government policies and regulations (16.75%), and financial stability (12.60%) are important factors for productivity improvement in steel manufacturing industries.
