Structural equation model of quality control in construction production of Vietnam

This article presents the results of the analysis of factors affecting quality control in the construction industry of Vietnam on the basis of the method of confirmation factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation model (SEM). The results show that 25 factors, 6 goals, which are located in 5 criteria, are the most important for quality control in the construction industry of Vietnam. However, to be able to more fully reflect the results of the analysis, according to the data obtained from the survey, it is necessary to add 17 relationships. The results of the analysis also show that the model achieves convergence, discriminatory value and high reliability, but without unidirectionality.

The Relationship

This study was designed to determine the factors affecting hopelessness about the future of 10–12-year-old Turkish primary school students. Firstly, descriptive factor analysis was applied in order to determine the factors affecting hopelessness levels, then a structural equation model (SEM) was utilized to describe the relationship between the specified factors and hopelessness; these relationships were tested by LISREL 8.54. The results indicated that the preteenagers' level of hopelessness was adversely affected by support received from parents and friends. The hopelessness level was also significantly affected by the preteenagers' positive self-definition and parents' educational level.

Personal Behavior

This paper aims to answer whether there is a difference in the choice and consumption of domestic and imported fruits at supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh city and if yes, whether it can be measured. To answer these questions, we employ the structural equation model (SEM) with four variables, including product quality and feature, brand, price, and personal behavior of consumers. The model is subsequently checked using the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Data is obtained from surveys on the fruit consumers in HCMC’s supermarkets conducted from October to December, 2013. Conclusions and suggestions are also offered in the paper.
