Assessing Data Sharing's Model Fitness Towards Open Data by using Pooled CFA

This study demonstrates the step-by-step procedure to perform Pooled Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in the measurement part of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). CFA is crucial for the SEM measurement model to obtain the acceptable model fit before modeling the structural model. There are two techniques in CFA; individual CFA and Pooled-CFA. Usually, Pooled-CFA is done due to the high number of constructs and items. If the model is too complicated and has so many constructs and items, then it is recommended to perform Pooled-CFA to simplify the model's looks yet easy to understand. The perception of Malaysia Technical University Network (MTUN) academics on data sharing towards open data was analysed by using pooled-CFA. There are three main constructs: data sharing with its 4 sub-constructs; (technological factor, organizational factor, environmental factor, and individual factor), mediator construct (open data licenses), and open data construct was analyzed in this research. Furthermore, second-order constructs' factor loadings towards their corresponding sub-constructs were investigated. This research collected the primary data of 442 respondents using a stratified random sampling technique. This paper will explain the theoretical framework before revealing the results of Pooled-CFA on data sharing towards open data.
