Of the 890 surveys distributed, 198 (129 male, 69 female) were returned giving a response rate of 20.2%.
Before applying any statistical examination it was imperative to determine whether sufficient sample size had been achieved.
A formula for sample size was used
E = Z a/2 0/^n
or
n = (Z a/2 °/E)2
At 99.9% degree of confidence z a/2 was determined to be 2.59.
The highest value for о was 2.71 The margin of error was 1.
The minimum sample size was 50 (rounded up). A series of Levene tests was carried out to determine homogeneity of variance. The Levene’s tests provided a significance of <.001 for all questions being examined, indicating that data was sufficiently robust to apply t-tests, linear regressions and chi-square tests.
For the purpose of clarity, the drivers and benefits will be considered separately.
Drivers
The results of Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin MSA (.914) and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity (x2 = 1987, p =.000) indicated that the data set satisfied the assumptions for factorability. Principle Components Analysis was chosen as the method of extraction in order to account for maximum variance in the data using a minimum number of factors. A three — factor solution was extracted with eigenvalues
7.567, 2.271 and 1.002 and was supported by an inspection of the Scree plot. These 3 factors accounted for 67.878% of the variance as shown in Table 1.
The 3 components were rotated using the Varimax procedure and a simple structure was achieved as shown in the Rotated Component Matrix in Table 2.
The 3 factors are independent and uncorrelated, as an orthogonal rotation procedure was used.
