The instruments reliability and validity were therefore, scrutinized through expert panel and the data sample was analyzed using SPSS v24. Finally, the result proves the instruments reliability and validity for the adapted constructs in the pilot study.Hence, future studies can extend this finding by establishing relationship between the study variables.
