re reported in parentheses on the diagonals. 4.2. Confirmatory factor analysis We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the construct validity of study variables. As Table 3 shows, the four-factor model fit the data reasonably well ( χ 2 (df) = 1098.166(554), CFI = 0.949, TLI = 0.945, RMSEA = 0.050). A...

sized measurement model appropriate for the data. Moreover, the average variances extracted (AVE) and composite reliability (CR) values for all variables satisfied the criteria ( Fornell and Larcker, 1981 ). Because all data of the key variables were self-reported, common method bias is a possibility. Thus, following t...
