Quantitative data will be coded and entered SPSS (version 23) software packages to facilitate research analysis. First and foremost, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was employed to determine the number of measurement items that loaded at a particular construct. This analysis aided the researchers in reducing the number of indicator(s) whose loading was less than 0.5 (Marsh et al., 2020). After the EFA analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was examined to determine the fitness of the model with the use of the retained indicator from EFA. The next step was to test the hypothesized path using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) which was run in AMOS (Ver. 23) with a confidence interval of 95%.
