Limitations and directions for future research
This study offers a theoretical framework and empirical assessments of the complex
relationship among variables in our proposed model. Several research limitations exist
in our study. First, we acknowledge the limitation of the range of constructs in our
proposed model. Our research design incorporates multiple rounds of theory building
through literature reviews and expert opinions, but it does not capture every aspect
of underlying constructs. Establishing a valid, reliable instrument that captures all the
multiple facets of these constructs represents an ongoing process, and no psychometric
technique can capture completely the breadth and complexity of the issues involved.
Therefore, we recognize that other dimensions of underlying constructs in our
proposed model may exist but are not captured herein
