We used composite reliability (CR) and Cronbach's alpha to determine the reliability of all constructs. As proven in Table 3, all values of CR (ranging from 0.695 to 0.814) are greater than 0.7, suggesting sufficient reliability (Fornell and Larcker, 1981) Table 4: Reliability and validity CR AVE MSV MaxR(H) Exchange 0.780 0.181 1.34 0.551 Communication 0.757 0.235 2.951 0.413 Coordination 0.651 0.083 19.012 0.274 Integration 0.699 0.14 2.099 0.349 Responsiveness 0.685 0.025 19.012 0.073 Efficiency 0.713 0.12 5.872 0.385 Reliability 0.688 0.205 2.67 0.532 Flexibility 0.779 0.423 4.584 0.818 iii. Structural models and hypotheses test results In the current study, the hypotheses have been tested through constructing structural model using SEM. Structural model provides a dirct effect on the output file as unstandardised and standardised Figure 3: Shows the estimation results of the structural model. The goodness of fit indices were χ 2=(2.277), DF=2, CMIN/DF= 1.138 with RMSEA=0.026, NFI=0.92,CFI=0.96, IFI=0.96,GFI=0.94, and SRMR=0.041, suggesting an acceptable fit.
