Note(s): 1: Italic values are the square roots of the average variance explained
2: Cronbach's alpha was not reported for the second-order constructs given its known bias under unequal indicator loadings; Rho A, considered a more accurate reliability estimate in this context, was used instead
3: The values of cross loads and outer loadings are not shown owing to the size limitations of this article
