Note(s): Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for exploratory purposes to evaluate internal consistency across the items representing Mintzberg’s managerial roles (α = 0.77). However, as the roles are conceptually distinct and intended to measure separate constructs, the alpha value should be interpreted cautiously and not as an indicator of the reliability of a single underlying construct
