Notes: aItems removed because their value was below 0.4; bitems removed because their value was above 0.4, but below 0.7, and removing them led to an increase of CR or AVE above threshold values; citems preserved because, in spite of their value being above 0.4 and below 0.7, removing them would lead to a decrease of CR or AVE below threshold values. All items preserved in the measurement model are statistically significant at 1% level
