Identifying Technology Readiness Index Scale Under Internet Usage Context

Abstract

This article presents Confirmatory Factor Analysis for identifying proper variables to create a technology readiness index factor under the internet usage context. Two aims of this research are to explore technology readiness opinion and to identify factors of the technology readiness index. This research conduct by using modified sixteen standard questions from previous research. The analyze was done with descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation, and analytic statistics including exploratory factor analysis with the principal method and varimax rotation; Average Variance Extracted (AVE), Composite Reliability (CR), Alpha Cronbach Reliability Testing, Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The findings are firstly respondent have an opinion at agree level in motivator factor. There are three subjects that the respondent list in disagree such as technology is easy, depending on technology, and secure to use technology.  The second finding is the EFA synthesis three-factor, but the AVE value tells that the 1st factor and 3rd factor are good to fit (the value > .5), the AVE value of 2^nd factor is .39. Although not all AVE value is fit, the CR value of three factors are over .7, so that means all factor are able to use.  When validating all three-factor with Alpha Cronbach testing, the value of three factors is over .7. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis show the fitted model with statistics such as c² = 75.437, df. = 58, c² /df = 1.301, p = .062, CFI = .979, and RMSEA = .039
