“…Structural equation modelling is a technique of multivariate analysis, grown on the limitations in the conventional Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and the analysis for latent constructs is no longer appropriate with traditional OLS (Hoque et al, 2017a;Hoque et al, 2017c;Hoque & Awang, 2016a;Hoque & Awang, 2016b;Kashif et al, 2016;Awang, 2015;Awang et al, 2015a). Thus, the researchers employed SEM to keep pace with the advancement in research methodology.…”

“…Before doing path analysis in SEM, the study requires to confirm the measurement model validation of latent constructs for unidimensionality, validity, and reliability (Hoque et al, 2017a;Hoque et al, 2017d;Hoque & Awang, 2016a;Awang 2014;2015;Awang et al 2015a). Unidimensionality is achieved when the factor loading of all sub-constructs and all of their items are positive with a minimum value of 0.6 (Hoque et al, 2017c;Hoque et al, 2017b;Hoque & Awang, 2016a;Awang et al, 2015a;Hair et al, 2014;Awang 2014Awang , 2015.…”

“…Construct validity is achieved when the fitness indexes of the measurement model meet three model fit that is, Absolute fit, Incremental fit, and Parsimonious fit. Discriminant validity is achieved when all constructs are not highly correlated (Awang 2014;2015;Awang et al, 2015a;Hair et al, 2014;Fornell & Larcker, 1981). Convergent validity is achieved when the value of AVE meets the minimum value of 0.5 (Awang 2014;2015;Awang et al, 2015a;Hair et al, 2014).…”

The novel funding sources turn out to be important for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector all over the world especially after 2007-2008 world financial crisis. Thus, to develop a new business idea and start-ups, SMEs need a sufficient amount of capital. However, after the financial crisis in 2008, SME sector faced the challenges of attracting new capital. Therefore, an innovative method of fundraising for SME was introduced as crowdfunding. Crowdfunding indicates financing a project or an idea via the internet owing the help from the many investors or donors of a society. Since there are limited works about the influence of Crowdfunding on Entrepreneur Self-efficacy (ESE), hence, to minimize the research gap and to achieve the objective of the study, we conduct a quantitative research among 190 entrepreneurs in Bangladesh using crowdfunding based on Social Cognitive theory. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in IBM-SPSS-Amos 25.0 and the stated hypotheses were tested. The study found a direct and positive effect of Crowdfunding on Entrepreneur's Self-efficacy (β=0.924, P=.001). Overall, the result has landed support for crowdfunding, which indicates that it can influence on self-efficacy of entrepreneur. In order to determine the need of crowdfunding, we have explained and statistically demonstrated how crowdfunding can provide a supplementary channel where firms can gain finance and to create self-efficacy of entrepreneurs through exploiting the potential of internet..

Satisfying patients is one of the essential facets of healthcare initiatives by any nation. The provision of high‐quality services is indispensable for the success of any service provider. This article aims to help determine experiential values that would aid in understanding the concept of healthcare quality assessment which has long been a means of controversy in practice and academic literature. Patient's experiential values, both extrinsic and intrinsic, impact the way patients assess the quality in terms of the service benefits received by them. This article has adopted a qualitative method to find and develop a patient‐centric quality assessment framework. Ten interviews were conducted with patients admitted more than a day in the private ward of a public hospital and their relatives who accompanied them (i.e., five patients and five relatives). Nvivo 12 Pro generates themes from the interviews and then triangulates with the observations and literature. With the help of this study, we could find the extrinsic and intrinsic factors that help in assessing the service quality. The intrinsic factors namely: belief, trust, safety, convenience, and confidence and extrinsic factors namely: cleanliness, facilities, access, and service delivery prove helpful in service quality assessment. Practitioners and policymakers can adapt this study to increase performance and deliver patient‐centered services.
