Abstract: There
are two ways to conduct Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using individual
confirmatory factor analysis or group confirmatory factor analysis based on the
measurement model. The number of items depends on the construct used in the
study and the measurement model analysis is conducted separately if the number
of items in the construct is more than four. Whereas, pooled CFA runs all
measurement models at the same time. Items with a factor loading value of less
than 0.6 are considered unimportant to the measurement of the construct and can
be discarded Chik,
Abdullah, Ismail and Mohd Noor (2024;
2022). A total of
600- study samples were involved in this research. Data were analyzed using the
IBM-SPSS-AMOS (Structural Equation Modeling-SEM)
program version 21.0. Adjustment tests were conducted to ensure that the tested
indicators truly represent the construct being measured and Confirmatory Factor
Analysis was conducted in this study as a prerequisite that must be met. The
findings of the study show that all the correlations between the Government
Administration, Concerned for the
People, Stability Party, Based on Race, Based on Religion, Corruption
Issues, Crony Issues and Current Political Issues Constructs have a value less than 0.85 (<0.85) in
Malaysian Public Universities. The results of the combined confirmatory factor
analysis of all measurement models (Pooled CFA), prove that all constructs do
not have a strong relationship with each other to avoid the existence of
multicollinearity problems.
