The dimensionality of a new multidimensional benefits satisfaction questionnaire called the Attitudes Toward Benefits Scale was examined using a principal components analysis with an orthogonal rotation, and the parallel analysis criterion was used to determine the number of components to retain. It was found that the items loaded on three separate components, as had been hypothesized, and that only one of the components, satisfaction with benefits, was statistically significantly correlated with the benefit subscale of the Pay Satisfaction Questionnaire.
