The flowchart begins from two boxes at the top arranged in a horizontal series. The box on the left side is labeled “Study 1-A, Item Generation (Literature Review).” The box on the right is labeled “Study 1-B, Item Generation (10 Expert Interviews).” From these two boxes, individual downward arrows point to another box labeled “(Study 1-A plus Study 1-B) Primary Pool of 24 Items Generated.” A downward arrow from this box points to the fourth box labeled “Study 2: Item Refinement (Expert Panel Review: Refined 15 items created).” This is followed by a downward arrow pointing from the fourth to the fifth box labeled “Study 3: Item Reduction (Exploratory Factor Analysis: Reduced to 9 Items).” A downward arrow then leads from the fifth to the sixth box labeled “Study 4: Validation (N 2 equals 264 Respondents: India), (Confirmatory Factor Analysis: three-factor model), (Convergent or Discriminant or Nomological Validity).” Finally, a downward arrow points from the sixth to the seventh box labeled “Study 5: Replication (N 3 equals 212 Respondents: Japan), (Confirmatory Factor Analysis: three-factor model), (Convergent or Discriminant or Nomological Validity).”Multi-method research design (Source: Author’s own work)
