Explanation:
The meaning of "extremo negativo" is fairly clear - it's the most extreme negative statement. In your example, the statement is presumably something like "I hate this product", so if people agree with it, they're saying something extremely negative.

A dimension is a measurable criterion - in your example, it might be, say, user friendliness. If it gets lots of extreme negative answers, the product is not user friendly.

"A large survey in 367 organizations engaged in different change processes and ..... The first dimension is characterized by high loadings (see values between ... of the respondents) has the most extreme negative scores of all groups".

neutral  liz askew: but here "extremo" is a noun, not an adjective

  -> It doesn't make any difference to the translation. "Extreme negative" is the same as "negative extreme", and "extreme" means "end". Your answer is a different version of mine. It's also longer, which is a drawback since the term is frequently repeated.

neutral  Francois Boye: Why not say 'the most extreme negative statement regarding the first dimension'? This is by far easier to understand!
54 mins
  -> Because, as I said to Liz, the term is frequently repeated, so the translation needs to be as concise as possible.

first dimension's negative extreme


Explanation:
Math extreme is the highest (or lowest) value of a math function on an interval (a,b). For example, function y=x2 has minimum (extreme) for x=0 on interval (minus infinity, plus infinity). Similarly, function y=-x2 has maximum (extreme) for x=0 on the same interval.
