This research demonstrates the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method in order to obtain the best fit model for a more efficient and accurate inter-relationship among variables findings and interpretation. For the purpose of this study, secondary data of Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) had been used. The data were distributed by using two stage st...

The associations between psychosocial and physiological factors and diabetes' health indicators have not been widely investigated among Asians and Pacific Islanders. We hypothesize that health behaviour and depression are directly or indirectly associated with diabetes' health indicators such as BMI, glycemic control, general health, and diabetes quality of life. Our hypothesis was tested throu...

This study was an endeavor to develop a model of identity among Iranian EFL learners. To achieve this end, a multiphase design was implemented. Initially, it attempted to investigate different factors of identity to propose and validate a model. Thus, 120 EFL learners studying in different English language institutes in Iran were randomly selected, and 36 learners were interviewed about their v...

To reduce a large number of variables to a smaller number of factors for modeling purposes, where the large number of variables precludes modeling all the measures individually. As such, factor analysis is integrated in structural equation modeling (SEM), helping confirm the latent variables modeled by SEM. However, factor analysis can be and is often used on a stand-alone basis for similar pur...

The research sought to assess mathematics teachers’ acceptance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration into teaching learning at the secondary schools. This study was a cross-sectional survey that gathered data with structured questionnaire. population (core elective) teachers schools within Ashanti region Ghana. Purposive sampling used select from 41 in region. In all, th...

Structural equation modeling (SEM) provides a dependable framework for testing differences among groups on latent variables (constructs, factors). The purpose of this article is to illustrate SEM-based testing for group mean differences on latent variables. Related procedures of confirmatory factor analysis and testing for measurement invariance across compared groups are also presented in the ...

This study aims to examine the effect of Islamic visionary leadership on organisational commitment and its impact employee performance. uses explanatory quantitative research 20 state-owned enterprises (BUMN) in food technology cluster Indonesia, with 85 respondents who were processed using structural equation modelling (SEM) partial least square (PLS) (SEM-PLS) approach. The results indicate t...
