These findings support the realm of science that prove the causality theories. The originality rests in the collaboration of the previous models, and in using SEM as a statistical approach to test the effect among variables. The limitation resides in the number of variables and object. These results also impact to the practical leaders especially in the Kodam Iskandar Muda as an object.
