The Bartlett's Test is used to test whether the sample have equal variances. Equal variance
across sample is called homogeneity of variances. Since the Bartlett's Test shows significant P
value (0.000) the variance are not equal.
In (Table 6.1.2) communality for a given variable can be interpreted as the proportion of
variation in that variable explained by the eight factors. It can be obtained from this
communality that how accurately this model performs. If the communalities values for
individual variables are close to 1, indicates that the variables can be included in the model
explained the total variance. Since the communalities values are more than 0.5 indicates that
the variables explaining the eight factors are good.

The above figure (Table 6.1.3) interpret that total variance explained by eight factors are
70.94%. As for as Eigen value, there are only seven factor loaded but these extracted eight
factors based on the literature support (Glyptis et al., (2020); Putri and Idulfilastri (2020);
Gupta et al., (2017); Acosta and Torres (2017); Kamal et al., (2013); Al-Shafi, and Weerakkody
(2010); AlAwadhi and Morris (2008). These eight factors explained the total model about 71%.

       a. Rotation converged in 6 iterations.
In (Table 6.1.4) rotated component matrix showed that there are eight factors loaded and three
items are explaining each factors. The factors are not correlated with other factors; this shows
that the independency. The first factor is correlated with three items such as TF1, TF2 and TF3.
The second factors explained by the items CPWB1, CPWB2 and CPWB3. The third factor is
correlated with the items TR1, TR2 and TR3. The fourth factors is correlated with the following
items TP1, TP2 and TP3. The fifth factor is explained by the items CP1, CP2 and CP3. The
variables SF1, SF2 and SF3 are highly correlated with the sixth factor. The variables OF1, OF2
and OF3 are correlated with seventh factor and the eight factor explained by the following
variables AP1, AP2 and AP3.
According to the literature review, it is observed that factors 1, 3, 6 and 7 explained the latent
factor EGA, and the factors 2, 4, 5 and 8 are predicting the latent factor EJP.
After conducing EFA, the internal consistency of all the extracted factors was assessed using
Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. As per the Tables 6.1.5, the rule of thumb that values of all
Cronbach’s alpha coefficients exceed the threshold value of 0.70 indicating adequate internal
consistency for all the factors.

   Construct validity = Is the extent to which a set of measured variables actually represent
    the theoretical latent construct they are designed to measure. It is made up of four
    components: convergent validity, discriminant validity, nomological validity and face
    validity.
   Convergent validity = The extent to which indicators of a specific construct ‘converge’ or
    share a high proportion of variance in common.
   Face validity = The extent to which the content of the items is consistent with the construct
    definition, based solely on the researcher’s judgment.
   Average Variance Extracted (AVE) = a summary measure of convergence among a set
    of items representing a construct. It is the average percent of variation explained among
    the items.
One of the biggest advantages of CFA/SEM is its ability to quantitatively assess the construct
validity of a proposed measurement theory. Construct validity is the extent to which a set of
measured items actually reflect the theoretical latent construct they are designed to measure.
The AVE (Average Variance Explained) is not provided by AMOS software, so it has to be
calculated. The AVE is calculated as the mean variance extracted for the items loading on a
construct and is a summary indicator of convergence (Fornell and Larcker, 1981).

To test the discriminant validity, we need square root of Average Variance Extracted (AVE)
and then will compare with the correlation between the latent construct. A good rule of thumb
a square root of AVE is higher than the correlation value between the latent construct.

The above tables show that the square root of AVE is higher than the correlation between the
construct. So it is interpreted the discriminant validity for the latent construct is exist.
The path diagram shows the impact of e-government adoption on job performance among the
employees of e-district in Uttarakhand. The dimensions of E-Government Adoption (EGA) are
Organizational Factor (OF); Technical Factor (TF); Trust Factor (TR) and Social Factor (SF).
The dimensions of Job Performance (JP) include Task performance (TP), Contextual
Performance (CP), Adaptive Performance (AP) and Counter-Productive Work Behaviour
(CPWB). The Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) fit statistics for the model
was 0.076, which is considered as the best fit model (Brown and Cudeck, 1993;
Diamantopoulos and Siguaw, 2000). The path diagram shows the impact of e-government
adoption is 10.779 per cent on job performance among the employees of e-district in
Uttarakhand. It can also be seen that E-government adoption (EGA) is influenced by all factors
(organizational factor, technical factor, trust factor and social factor). The regression weights,
standardized regression weights and the model fit summary are shown in Table 6.1.11, 6.1.12
and 6.1.13 respectively. It is concluded from the Table 11, 12 and 13, all the statistical measures
are in the acceptable range for the structural equation model.

In Figure 6.1.2 regression path analysis shows that the Organizational factor (OF) is major
influencing factor on the Employee’s Job performance (EJP) as the regression weight assigned
0.405, the next social factors (SF) is influencing the predictor variable Employee job
performance (EJP) 0.341 followed by Trust factors (0.323) and Technical factors (0.306)
influence the dependent factors employees job performance (EJP). The visual representations
of results suggest that the relationships between the constructs of adoption of E-governance
services are stronger. The overall regression model shows that the e-governance services
factors organizational factor (OF), social factor (SF), trust factor (TR) and technical factors
(TF) significantly influence the dependent factor employee job performance (EJP) and model
represented R2 0.960 i.e. 96%, the independent factors are explaining the dependent factor
(EJP).
                  Estimate
EJP <--- OF              .405
EJP <--- TF              .306
EJP <--- SF              .341
EJP <--- TR              .323

Interpretation:
In hierarchical regression, the predictor variables are entered in sets of variables according to
a pre-determined order that may infer some causal or potential relationships between the
predictors and the dependent variable (Francis, 2003). Such situations are area of interest in the
social sciences. Hence, the researcher empirically tested the hierarchical regression for the
model conceptualized in the regression path analysis within the AMOS graphics environment.
The analyses conducted, the parameter estimates are then viewed within AMOS graphics and
it displays the standardized parameter estimates. The regression analysis revealed that the
impact of the factors influencing adoption of E-Governance services on the employee’s job
performance.
