Using a priori sample size calculator for structural equation models, the total sample size is 616. Stratified sampling with proportional allocation has been used. Then systematic sampling has been used to pick the study participants. For analysis, structural equation modelling (SEM) was used. The assumption of SEM-like normality, confirmatory factor analysis like average variance extracted and composite reliability, Cronbach's alpha and model specification were checked using Amos software.
