Secondly, a confirmatory analysis of dimensionality was carried out by employing
the statistical software EQS version 6.1 for Windows. We opted for the Robust
Maximum Likelihood method of estimation. This process require to develop a
confirmatory model in line with the methodology proposed by Hair et al. (1999), which
is based on the three criteria established by Jo¨reskog and So¨rbom (1993). In order to
ensure compliance with the weak convergence condition, Steemkamp and Van Trijp
(1991) suggest to analyze the significance of the factorial regression coefficients
between the indicators and their corresponding latent variables[2].
