Factor Analysis
An exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the different measures to purify the instrument.
Factor analysis was also used to identify underlying factors or the dimensional composition of
instrument. Items which were not factor ally pure were eliminated. The data from 53 responses
were examined using principal component method. At this stage, items with factor loading of
less than 0.5 on each factor or above 0.5 on additional factors should be deleted to purify the
measure. After the extraction no items are deleted but the project management items and risk
management are loaded on one factor and leaving total of 11 factors with an Eigen value of
greater than one. Factor loadings, Eigen value and Cronbach Alpha value are presented in table 4
- 10 in appendix (not included in the paper).
