In the study, in order to reveal the reliability of the scales, Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient and composite reliability coefficient are used and identified that the scales used in the study are reliable. Moreover, using correlation analysis the relationships between the variables are revealed statistically significant. Subsequently, structural equation modeling and bootstrapping method are used in order to test the proposed hypotheses in the context of the research model and revealed the direct, indirect, and total effects between the variables.
