Reliability Analysis – Results
In this study, Cronbach’s coefficient Alpha (α) was used to calculate
the internal consistency coefficients of the items included in the
questionnaire through a pilot study of 126 women entrepreneurs. The
results of the reliability analysis exhibited that the items in the five (5)
Likert scales had a satisfactory discriminating power. Normally, a
Cronbach’s Alpha with values of more than 0.700 is acceptable. Since
seven (7) variables had values of more than 0.700 the variables are
reliable and can be used for the purpose of this study (Taber, 2018).

The highest Cronbach’s Alpha is 0.991 which is for operator support
(OS) with twenty (20) items, followed by intention to use co-working
space (IUCWS) with ten (10) items (α=0.972), facilities (FC) with
twenty-one (21) items (α=0.972), social support and business
networking (SB) with ten (10) items (α=0.967), fees (FS) with thirteen
(13) items (α=0.935), environment and location (EL) with sixteen (16)
