The study showed that the acceptance level of the observed variables reached the Cronbach's Alpha confidence level above 0.7 and the Corrected Item - Total Correlation value of the accepted observed variable over 0.3. Research results with the absolute value of factor loading above 0.5 are optimal, and the observed variables are statistically significant. This study has identified the observed variables for the factors of the theoretical framework. The study results can establish a measurement for further quantitative research with an expanded research scope in the future.
