Mostly they remain ambiguous and there is no consensus regarding the main elements. b) There is a lack of solid theory-building research and more theory-supported research is needed: as research has often taken an exploratory approach in the development of scales, the structure and meaning of the obtained dimensions have mainly been determined ex-post by results from data analysis. A theoretical framework has hardly been used. Consequently, there should be more studies based upon a theoretical reference for developing scales.…
