“…1-Exploratory factor analysis: An analysis (Kieser-Meyer-Olken) was conducted for the purpose of knowing the adequacy of the sample size to conduct the factor analysis, as the value of the adequacy of the sample size test for the participatory leadership variable was through (21) items represented by (KMO = 0.688) and with a Chi-square value ( 996.238) at the degree of freedom (210), with a probability value of (0.000), with a combined explained variance (61.984%), with a latent root value of (13.017), as for the results of the quality of functional life through (20) items represented by (KMO = 0.759), with a chi-square value of (1110.806). At the degree of freedom (208), with a probability value (0.000), with a compound explained variance (62.677%), and with a latent root value (12.536), all of these tests exceed the required values, according to Table (1).…”
