In order to investigate the hypotheses of the quantitative part, Structural Equation Modeling was used. The results of SmartPls3 software showed that the overall research model has good RMS and GOF values and all the hypotheses of the research have been confirmed. %U https://jpap.sbu.ac.ir/article_96517_6ee290a3f44e372c07e85a4a5c729a5d.pdf
