For measurement model, confirmatory factor analysis was used, Maximum likelihood model has been used to test the model estimation. The GFI = 0.93, CFI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.03, RMR = 0.033 and CMIN/ df = 1.356 are the statistical inputs based on which the relationship has been analysed. As final outcome, the revised model has been achieved and 2 Hypothesis were accepted.
