Abstract

The purpose of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of first order factor measurement model is a way of testing how well measured variables represent in a small construct. Prior to this analysis, Cronbach Alpha, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and uni-dimensional (CFA) were performed. After the Cronbach-Alpha of the first order model, the six variables or factors were further analyzed at the second order level. The second order analysis was carried out to achieve a valid model fit for the data obtained as well as theoretical supports behind the developed model.
