The first and second sections covered respondents’ demographic profiles.

The sixth section focused on three path models which are examined using PLS-SEM. The last section focused on the findings from interview and focus group discussions. This segment reports the respondents’ demographic profile. Table 4.1 offers an overview of the lecturers’ demographics, while Table 4.13 presents a similar breakdown for students.
