This article presents two studies that investigate what specifically constitutes perceived value of a CSA working share (PVWS) and how they relate to the PVWS construct. The first study conducts in-depth interviews with 46 working share members to uncover the distinct dimensions of the PVWS. The second study uses exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and partial least squares (PLSs) on survey data from 129 working share members to empirically examine the dimensionality and the nature of the relationship between the dimensions and the PVWS construct. The findings indicate that the PVWS construct conforms to the structure of a formative second-order factor model consisting of five dimensions: functional value, emotional value, social value, epistemic value, and educational value for children. Managerial implications for CSA farmers and research implications of the findings are discussed.
本文呈现了两项研究，旨在探讨 CSA 工作份额的感知价值（PVWS）具体由哪些部分构成，以及它们与 PVWS 结构的关系。第一项研究通过对 46 名工作份额成员进行深入访谈，揭示了 PVWS 的不同维度。第二项研究使用来自 129 名工作份额成员的调查数据进行探索性因子分析（EFA）和偏最小二乘法（PLS），实证检验了维度与 PVWS 结构之间的维度性和关系本质。研究结果表明，PVWS 结构符合由五个维度组成的形成性二阶因子模型的结构：功能价值、情感价值、社会价值、认识论价值和儿童教育价值。文章讨论了 CSA 农民的管理意义和研究结果的意义。
