Statistical population of the study was consisted of 2768 agricultural research experts in Iran, One out of each six regional groups of Provinces was randomly selected and 320 researchers were randomly selected from theses six provinces based on Cochran’s sampling methodology. Research instrument consisted Likert scale for latent variables measurement. Validity of the questionnaire was analyzed using of Average Variance Extracted (AVE) that is a one method of Discriminant validity.
