Data analysis techniques used Descriptive Analysis, Multiple Linear Analysis, F Test and t Test.
RESULTS OF STUDY
Validity test is used to measure whether a questionnaire is valid or not. A questionnaire is said to be valid if the question in the questionnaire is able to reveal something measured by the questionnaire. The validity of this research was carried out by conducting bivariate correlations between each indicator score and the total construct score using the Pearson coefficient. If the number is significant from the total number of indicators <0.05, then it can be concluded that each question indicator is valid.
