Note(s): Italic font illustrates the square root of AVE

AC: agile culture; nAMe: non-agile mindset employee; AMe: agile mindset employee; CHM: change management

Italic font indicates the square root of AVE; red font indicates that the AVE level is below the accepted minimum of 0.5 (Forner and Larcker, 1981). An AVE of 0.50 or higher is generally considered acceptable, indicating that the construct accounts for at least 50% of the variance in its indicators. AMe AVE <0.50 suggests potential issues with the AMe construct's convergent validity (the construct's meaning may not be reflected in the scale). It is confusing because it occurs only in the AMe sample. The IT sector dominates the AMe sample ( Appendix 1); It may be that their specific perception of agility, rooted in agile software development methods (ASD) rather than in mindset, caused this problem. Moreover, the AVE, measured as a separate CFA of the construct ( Appendix 2), is 0.64, which is correct
