Measurement of Research Variables Sample Clauses

Measurement of Research Variables. We followed the approach used by various researchers (Buvik, 1995; Xxx and Xxxxxxx, 2004) to develop methodical measure for study’s constructs. We took the following steps. - Construct Specification - Item selection - Purification - Scale Validation Through both literature review and theoretical reasoning, latent variables for this study were developed. We used the pool of items used by Xxxxxxx, 1999. This is a content validity process, which is used for the establishment of an adequate reflection of a construct by a group of items. We measure various constructs by using different research methods as a test of construct validity but the research design of this study is based upon one single method which is a survey amongst the informants representing the buyer side of the channel that is why proper test of construct validity cannot be applied. We try to assess the reliability assessment through unidimensionality. We shall use the arguments based on reflective scales based on theoretical considerations which justifies the homogeneity of the concept by various items. Reliability measures will be supplemented by the fact that items supposed to be reflected by a common construct will be assigned to one single factor through principal component analysis. We shall assess the discriminant validity by confronting items assumed to correspond to different constructs through a principal component analysis to check whether the various groups of items are assigned promptly to their relevant construct.
