A flowchart illustrating the research methodology for exploring motivations and factors for design professionals to manage circular economy knowledge regarding construction and demolition waste management. The flowchart is divided into two main phases: Data Collection and Data Analysis. Data Collection includes Phase 01-Preliminary Interviews and Phase 02-Questionnaire Survey. Phase 01 involves Reflexive Thematic Analysis as data analysis method, which includes steps like data familiarization, systematic data coding, generating initial themes, developing and reviewing themes, refining, defining, and naming themes, and writing. This phase is linked to Objective 01, which explores motivations for design professionals to manage circular economy knowledge regarding construction and demolition waste management. Phase 02 involves Descriptive Statistics, Relative Importance Index and Exploratory Factor Analysis as data analysis methods. Descriptive Statistics and Relative Importance Index is linked to Objective 01 while Exploratory Factor Analysis is linked to Objective 02 which is Exploring the underlying motivational factors for design professionals to manage C E knowledge regarding construction and demolition waste management. Principal Axis Factoring with Direct Oblimin Rotation was mentioned under Exploratory Factor Analysis. In addition, Data Quality Checks include measures of sample adequacy, Bartlett's test of sphericity were connected to exploratory factor analysis as the first step of Exploratory Factor Analysis. In there Measure of Sample Adequacy has mentioned individual value greater than 0.5 and entire structure value greater than 0.5. Bartlett's test of sphericity mentioned value less than 0.05. Assessing correlation and community is mentioned as the second step where correlation value is mentioned as greater than 0.3 and communality value is mentioned greater than 0.4. Third step is factor reliability and under that Cronbach's alpha value greater than 0.7 is mentioned. Factor validity is mentioned as the fourth step and convergent validity of factor loadings greater than 0.5 is mentioned under factor validity.Overview of research methodology
