Exploratory factor analysis technique has been adopted in order to develop the factors and generate the scale, and later, confirmatory factor analysis to assess its reliability and validity. A 13-point scale, which will be utilised in assessing the factors influencing faculty recruitment in business schools and their inter dependence with each other is developed and validated.
