Abstract

This chapter explains the process of empirical evidence: how the data was prepared and analyzed. It first presents the descriptive analysis of (i) demographic data including age, experience, and cultural dimensions and (ii) core variables including effort expectancy, performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, and habit. In addition to data normality tests, reliability tests, and validity tests, the goodness of fit model and path model’s execution are described in this chapter.
