To test for discriminant validity, we compare the AVE
values for any two constructs with the square of the correlation
estimate between the constructs, which is a more rigorous test
(Fornell and Larcker, 1981). As seen from Table 3, the AVE
value of Δ Communication is .714 that is greater than the
square of the correlation estimate between Δ Communication
and any of the other constructs. The AVE value of Δ Team is
.651 that is greater than the square of the correlation estimate
between Δ Team and any of the other constructs, and likewise,
the AVE values of Δ Creativity, Δ Technology, Δ Risk, Δ
Quality, and Δ Materials are all greater than the square of their
respective correlation estimates. This comparison suggests that
any of latent constructs in the measurement model explains
more of the variance in its item measures than it shares with
other latent constructs, providing strong evidence of discriminant
validity for the measurement model.
