Multidimensional constructs refer to the different dimensions or factors that make up a single construct (e.g. emotional intelligence consists of emotional self-awareness, empathy, social skills, etc.) whereas multifaceted constructs refer to different facets or aspects of a construct that may or may not be correlated (e.g. job satisfaction may consist of facets such as pay, job security, coworker relationships, etc.).
