The main objective of this present study is to demonstrate the application of reliability tests and their consistency on any constructs of patient loyalty model using SEM appproach. There are three reliability tests implemented here, i.e Coefficient of Reliability (CR), Coefficient of Reliability Composite Score McDonald's ω, and Coefficient of Reliability Construct Weighted. After implementing those three reliability tests to the data, this empirical study found that all reliability tests result almost the same values. The consistency of all three reliability test are then checked by simulation study. The simulation study prove that all reliability tests are consistence as well, the values of reliability index are almost the same for various size of samples. It is concluded here that any constructs in proposed model of patient loyalty is reliable and the coresponding proposed model could be accepted.
Political participation is fundamental in consolidating democracy in which political participation influences the legitimacy of society towards the running of a government. In elections, political participation could be considered community control over a government. Therefore, modeling the factors of political participation becomes essential. This cross-sectional study investigates the relationship between political awareness, political knowledge, and political participation of individuals living in Padang, Indonesia, and participating in the general election of 2020. This study employs the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to construct the proposed model. The stability of SEM’s algorithm is checked using a reliability test. The performance of SEM and its algorithm is identified using the Bootstrap technique. The statistical tests proved that the proposed model is acceptable. This study found that political awareness has a positive and direct effect on political knowledge while political knowledge positively impacts political participation. It means that political awareness does not directly influence political participation. The political knowledge mediates it. This study suggests that individuals have to improve their public knowledge in the election to improve political participation. Meanwhile, political knowledge could be increased by improving political awareness. Indicator variables for each latent variable are also investigated in this study.
