factor analysis was carried out in two stages. In stage one;
known as factor extraction process, objective was to identify
how many factors to be extracted from data. Using principal
component analysis, 10 items were extracted for identifying
factors. Only the factors having latent roots or Eigen value.
In the second stage, all the factors were interpreted and labelled.
