Summary of the construct reliability score per construct
| Latent construct name | Variables | N | Cronbach's alpha | Composite reliability (CR) | AVE | Factor loadings (range) | Remarks | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technology | Preventive technologies | 9 | 0.923 | 0.94 (approx.) | 0.66 (approx.) | 0.74–0.89 | Cronbach's alpha score of is high (close to 1). This shows that the construct is reliable and internally consistent and the data garnered from the construct is suitable for further analysis. CR value greater than 0.70 and AVE value greater than 0.50 confirm convergent validity. All item loadings exceed 0.70, indicating strong indicator reliability | Cronbach (1951), Hair et al. (2021) |
| Cybersecurity outcomes | Threat mitigation (measured reflectively by blocked attacks) | 5 | 0.971 | 0.97 (approx.) | 0.87 (approx.) | 0.86–0.97 | Cronbach's Alpha score of is high (close to 1). This shows that the construct is reliable and internally consistent and the data garnered from the construct is suitable for further analysis. CR value greater than 0.70 and AVE value greater than 0.50 confirm convergent validity. High loadings indicate that the construct is a coherent reflective latent variable | Cronbach (1951), Hair et al. (2021) |
| Operational resilience (measured reflectively by uptime) | 5 | 0.945 | 0.95 (approx.) | 0.88 (approx.) | 0.80–0.91 | Cronbach's Alpha score of is high (close to 1). This shows that the construct is reliable and internally consistent and the data garnered from the construct is suitable for further analysis. CR value greater than 0.70 and AVE value greater than 0.50 confirm convergent validity. High loadings indicate that the construct is a coherent reflective latent variable | Cronbach (1951), Hair et al. (2021) | |
| Information integrity (measured reflectively by confidentiality, integrity and availability) | 5 | 0.928 | 0.91 (approx.) | 0.84 (approx.) | 0.82–0.95 | Cronbach's Alpha score of is high (close to 1). This shows that the construct is reliable and internally consistent and the data garnered from the construct is suitable for further analysis. CR value greater than 0.70 and AVE value greater than 0.50 confirm convergent validity. High loadings indicate that the construct is a coherent reflective latent variable | Cronbach (1951), Hair et al. (2021) |
