Confirmatory factor analysis results, construct reliability, and discriminant validity

Factor and item	Standardized loading	Latent correlations			AVE	√AVE	CR
Factor and item	Standardized loading	1	2	3	AVE	√AVE	CR
1. Formal training evaluation		–	0.27	0.72	0.83	0.91	0.94
I enjoyed the training very much	0.88
Participation in this kind of training is very useful for my job	0.95
After the training, I know substantially more about the training contents than before	0.91
2. Informal learning behaviors		0.27	–	0.31	0.45	0.67	0.76
I use my own ideas to improve tasks at work	0.61
I ask my colleagues about the methods and tricks they use at work	0.46
Before starting a new task, I think about how I can do my work best	0.83
I want to learn something new for myself because then I can solve problems at work faster	0.72
3. Training transfer		0.72	0.31	–	0.81	0.90	0.93
Using the new KSA has helped me improve my work	0.90
I have accomplished my job tasks faster than before training	0.88
The quality of my work has improved after using new KSA	0.91

Note(s):

AVE = average variance extracted; √AVE = square root of average variance extracted; CR = composite reliability. Values under “Latent correlations” represent correlations among latent variables. All standardized factor loadings were statistically significant at p < 0.001. Discriminant validity was supported because the square root of AVE for each construct exceeded its correlations with the other latent variables
