Abstract
Background and Aim: Greed is an insatiable, unnecessary and excessive interest or desire to acquire as many things as possible, such as wealth, social status, power, food, and other such issues. Greedy institutions is a sociological term coined by Kozer to refer to institutions that make omnipresent demands on their members. The purpose of the current research was to construct and validate the questionnaire of the greedy organization.
Methods: The descriptive research method was correlation type and confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis was used to construct the questionnaire. The research sample included 255 faculty members of Birjand University. The participants were selected by proportional stratified sampling and based on the faculty.
Results: The results of the principal components analysis with Varimax rotation showed that the greedy organization was composed of three components: "job depression", "organizational pressure" and "organizational support" which accounted for 59.03% of the total variance.
The findings of the factor analysis using the main indicators analysis method indicate that the values of the indicators are higher than one and these factors together explain 59.03 of the total variance. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis also showed that the model fit indices and factor loadings are appropriate and the value of t statistic in the significance test obtained is significant at the level of 0.001.
Conclusion: The results of divergent validity showed that the greedy organization had a significant negative correlation with organizational support.
