Overall measure of sampling adequacy was computed and found to be 0.787 which is a good figure Normally ,the measures can be interpreted that if the value is 0.90 or above (above marvelous), 0.8 or above (meritorious), 0.7 or above (above middling), 0.6 or above (mediocre), 0.5 or above (miserable), 0.5 or below (unacceptable). Hence all the assumptions indicated the appropriateness of the data to proceed for factor analysis. Thirdly, the component matrix was applied to extract principal factors through PCA (Principal Component Analysis). Principal component analysis was employed for extracting the factors. (ie. Eigen Value >0.5).
