One of the rationale of SEM usage is that,
since science typically views theory
validation as coming from predictive
verification (Deductive Approach), of
expected theoretically results based on
empirical evidence, the SEM casual models
used throughout the study provided an
explanatory description of casual
relationships among the CPM constructs,
plus a manipulation capabilities for
diagnosing the key changes necessary for
system improvements, and for predicting the
impacts of potential change actions
(Anderson and Vastag, 2003).
