“…The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test for sampling adequacy and the Bartlett’s test for sphericity were used. The KMO values between 0.7 and 0.8 are consider to be as good, and values between 0.8 and 0.9 are consider as excellent [ 25 ]. Then, the latent factors were extracted using the maximum likelihood estimation, the promax rotation, and scree plots.…”

“…Second-order factor analysis test was used to achieve a more accurate factor structure. Root mean residual (RMR, RMS or SRMS), goodness of t (GFI), and adjusted goodness of t index (AGFI), comparative t index (CFI) and the second root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) are among the most important and most used model tness indices (23). The results of the measured indices of the constructs and their acceptable values are shown in Table 4.…”
