Development of a New Measurement Tool for Individualism and Collectivism (2007, methodology): “A maximum-likelihood factor analysis with oblimin rotation was used to estimate the factor loadings and to allow greater accuracy of variable clustering and minimizing the covariance between elements on factors (Conway & Huffcutt, 2003; Hair, Anderson, Tatham, & Black, 1998).”
Empowering leadership: Construct clarification, conceptualization, and validation of a new scale (2014, methodology): “Because of the supposed multi-faceted nature of EL, principal axis factoring was used as an extraction technique (Conway & Huffcutt, 2003).”
The Sources of Four Commonly Reported Cutoff Criteria (2006, methodology): “…use Kaiser’s (1960) eigenvalues-greater-than-1 criterion, which is generally recognized as inadequate” (Wood, Tataryn, & Gorsuch, 1996, p. 260; see also Conway & Huffcutt, 2003) despite admonitions to abandon its use, for example, “we know of no study of this rule that shows it to work well”…”

Development and initial validation of the Life Skills Scale for Sport (2017, methodology): “To investigate potential cross-loadings of these items on nonintended life skills, a further EFA with oblique (direct oblimin; d ¼ 0) rotation was conducted on the 47 items as the factors were thought to be correlated (Conway & Huffcutt, 2003).”
A Multilevel Model of Transformational Leadership and Adaptive Performance and the Moderating Role of Climate for Innovation (2010, methodology): “Following Conway and Huffcutt’s (2003) recommendations, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis (eFA) using a principal axis factoring with promax rotation to examine the structure of these data.”
Leader Unethical Pro-Organizational Behavior and Employee Unethical Conduct: Social Learning of Moral Disengagement as a Behavioral Principle (2020, methodology): “*p .05 Scale Validation Evidence Using data collected in Study 1, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis with maximum likelihood extraction (Conway & Huffcutt, 2003).”
