Can you give a more detailed description - to what end ; what variables are you will to consider - structural, cultural, industry-type etc.? Also, please give the full reference of Rafferty and Griffin (2006)?

Further, you don’t automatically need more than 3 items just because you are planning your data analysis with AMOS. You might want to take a look into Blunch, N. (2012). Introduction to structural equation modeling using IBM SPSS statistics and AMOS. Sage.

Whichever instrument you choose, it's important that your questions are theoretically-based if you are using structural equation modelling. This means you might want to take a closer look at other organizational change theories and use a much more detailed instrument. It will be worth taking the time to do this, and I hope others are able to point you in the direction of some sound theories (I'm sorry I can't help with that).
The Blunch (2012) is a useful reference, and there are numerous others. While you don't need a minimum of 3 items per construct in SEM, it is strongly recommended as a minimum. You will, of course, need to check these items are appropriate ones to use in your analysis (through doing a confirmatory factor analysis first - even an exploratory factor analysis in SPSS is a good idea to check how many factors you really have, and whether each item loads in the factor you expect it to). James Gaskin's statwiki website is also useful for SEM and AMOS.
Good luck!

Need some suggestions on sentiment analysis?
I am working regarding sentiment analysis of about 500 comments over a blog. The blog states the career frustrations of professionals in a particular profession (i.e it itself reveals the negative aspects related to that profession).
Firstly, I have performed the content analysis (using the QDA Miner) of the blog to find the career aspects that are causing career frustrations among the professions.
Next, I have planned for sentiment analysis (using Python NLTK Text Classification/ http://text-processing.com/demo/sentiment/ ) of the comments (given exclusively by the professionals associated with that particular career) on the blog post . However, on moving further I have obtained that in some comments, there is fragmentation of sentiments. The first fragment which is related to the blog gives a positive sentiment whereas, the second one which is related to descriptions of career aspects gives a negative polarity.
For eg: Excellent article (+ve Sentiment related to the blog post). the problem is that you learn this once you have spent 15 yrs in this field trying to achieve what you dreamt of...... it's a complete waste going into this career field in this country. (-ve Sentiment wrt career aspect) it's better if you aim early and move out...to the US or any other place of your liking...(-ve Sentiment wrt career aspect).
Kindly give me some advice on how to conduct sentiment analysis of such type of dual-natured comments that reflects sentiments for the blog post and the blog aspects itself.
