A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to validate the findings
of the exploratory factor analysis, which resulted in one factor composed
of five items. This has also been confirmed by the confirmatory factor
analysis. The dimension process of eco-innovation comprises five items.
All the coefficients were found to be positive, high and significant and are
186 indicated in Table 49 and Figure 14.

Statistical information of the dimension of process eco-innovation,
pertaining to reliability (reliability coefficients) and convergence (good-
ness-of-fit model indexes) based on the overall sample (N = 223), is indi-
cated in the Figure 14. The dimension of process eco-innovation showed
good reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.912). Also, the goodness-of-fit in-
dexes are shown in Figure 14 (NFI = 0.964; NNFI = 0.939; CFI = 0.970;
SRMR = 0.036; RMSEA = 0.15); the majority of goodness-of-fit index-
es showed good fit: NFI, NNFI and CFI (over the threshold of 0.90) and
also the SRMR (below the threshold of 0.08), while RMSEA showed
somewhat worse fit.
