  1. The HTMT inference test results indicated that a value of 1 exceeded the lower or upper confidence intervals as per Franke and Sarstedt (2019) (Franke and Sarstedt, 2019). The results also support the discriminant validity of the constructs, which further confirms that they are indeed distinct and not overlapping. This analysis enhances the credibility of the study’s findings and ensures the robustness of the research methodology.
