First thing first, we will take the Cronbach Alpha Cronbach’s alpha is a measure
of internal consistency, that is, how closely related a set of items are as a group. 
It is considered to be a measure of scale reliability. Cronbach's alpha is the most
common measure of internal consistency ("reliability"). It is most commonly used when you
have multiple Likert questions in a survey/questionnaire that form a scale and you wish to
determine if the scale is reliable. We need to take the Cronbach Alpha before the EFA to test
the raliabiltity.

II3 8.59 20.193 .780 .822
II4 8.20 22.380 .623 .882

The alpha coefficient for the four items is .876, suggesting that the items have
relatively high internal consistency.  (A reliability coefficient of .6 or higher is
considered “acceptable” in most social science research situations.)

The first column indicates the observed variables to be included to verify the
scale reliability. The 2nd column is Corrected Item Total Correction. The values
in this column must be greater than or equal to 0.3, new observation variables
contribute to building the reliability of the scale, if the observation variable has a
relative value variable in total less than 0.3 then we will remove it.

As previously mentioned, the more the Cronbach alpha value is, the more
reliable the scale is. Should in the event that the occurrence of an observation
variable with a CAFD value greater than the Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the
initial scale (in the table Reliability Statistic) means that if the observer is
abandoned, the scale willi ncrease the reliability. If corrected Item Total
Correction of variables is less than 0.3, we should leave that variable. With the
results here have a value greater than 0.3, we will retain it.
We will apply the same procedure with others variable and we will have the
following results.

Bước 2: Phân tích EFA

EFA stands for Exploratory Factor Analysis. Factor analysis can be used to find meaningful patterns
within a large amount of data. It’s possible that you will find that a certain group of questions seem to
cluster together. Exploratory factor analysis is a statistical technique that is used to
reduce data to a smaller set of summary variables and to explore the underlying
theoretical structure of the phenomena.  It is used to identify the structure of the
relationship between the variable and the respondent. 

With the reliability test of the Cronbach Alpha scale, we evaluate the relationship
between variables in the same group, the same factor, rather than considering the
relationship between all of the observed variables in other factors. In the meanwhile,
EFA considers the relationship between variables in all groups (different factors) to
detect the variables that upload the multiple factors or the misrepresentation of the
element from the beginning.

As a data analyst, the goal of a factor analysis is to reduce the number of


variables to explain and to interpret the results. This can be accomplished in two
steps:

1. factor extraction
2. factor rotation

With this analysis, we only care about 3 mains factors:

Rotation Method: Promax with Kaiser Normalization.
a. Rotation converged in 6 iterations.

The KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin) coefficient is an indicator for the appropriate consideration of


the factor analysis. The KMO value must reach a value of 0.5 or higher (0.5 < = KMO < = 1) is
sufficient condition for the factor analysis to be appropriate. If this value is less than 0.5, then the
factor analysis is likely not appropriate for the research dataset.
Bartlett's Test of Sphericity is used to consider the variables observed in the factor that correlated
with each other. The condition required to apply the factor analysis are observation variables that
reflect different aspects of the same factor must be correlated with each other. Therefore, if
auditing for master is not statistically significant, it is not recommended to apply the factor
analysis for the variables under consideration. Bartlett's Test has a statistical significance of <
0.05 that demonstrates observations that correlated with each other in the factor  The Bartlett’s
Test value needs to be less than 0.05.

The Eigenvalue number is a common use criterion for determining the number of factors in EFA
analysis. With this criterion, the factors which have Eigenvalue greater than or equal to 1 are
retained in the model.

Total Variance Explained greater than or equal to 50% for teachers of EFA models is
appropriate. The value of the variable is 100%, which has been showing how many% of the
elements were condensed and how much losses were lost of the observed variables.
Coefficient of loading (Factor Loading) greater than or equal to 0.5. Factor Loading: This value
represents the correlation relationship between the observed variable with the factors. The higher
the coefficient of Factor Loading, which means the correlation between the observer variable and
the larger the factor, and opposite.
According to Hair & ctg(2009,116), Multivariate Data Analysus, 7th Edtion, we have:
- Factor Loading = +- 0.3 : Minimum conditions for the observations to be retained
- Factor Loading at +- 0.5: The observation variable has a good statistical significance\
- Factor Loading at +- 0.7: The observation variable has a very good statistical significance
In fact, it is common to take loading factors 0.5 as standard with sample size from 120 to below
350. We will therefore take 0.5
Bước 3: Phân tích CFA

After finishing EFA, we have Pattern Matrix, we will use this table to conduct CFA (Confirmatory Factor
Analysis). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is a multivariate statistical procedure that is used to test
how well the measured variables represent the number of constructs. Confirmatory factor analysis
(CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) are similar techniques, but in exploratory factor analysis
(EFA), data is simply explored and provides information about the numbers of factors required to
represent the data. In exploratory factor analysis, all measured variables are related to every latent
variable. But in confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), researchers can specify the number of factors
required in the data and which measured variable is related to which latent variable. Confirmatory
factor analysis (CFA) is a tool that is used to confirm or reject the measurement theory. Confirmatory
factor analysis has become established as an important analysis tool for many areas of the social
and behavioral sciences.

Bước 4: SEM

Structural equation modeling is a multivariate statistical analysis technique that is used


to analyze structural relationships.  This technique is the combination of factor
analysis and multiple regression analysis, and it is used to analyze the structural
relationship between measured variables and latent constructs.  This method is
preferred by the researcher because it estimates the multiple and interrelated
dependence in a single analysis. Structural equation modeling is also called causal
modeling because it tests the proposed causal relationships. 

We have 3 main results here include: Regression Weights, Standardized Regression Weights,
Squared Multiple Correlations.

In the end we consider the Squared Multiple Correlations table. This table represents the average R-
value of the impact of the independent variables on the dependent variables. The R squared value of
PRU is 0.29 = 29%, so the independent variables impact to 29% of the PRU variation. Similarly, The R
squared value of II is 0.318 = 31.8%, so the independent variables impact to 31.8% of the II variation
