Data collection techniques were carried out by going directly to the field (field research) using interviews, observations and questionnaires.Researchers do this to find out the variables that affect and relate to the observed research object.In addition to doing library research with the aim of collecting secondary data.This research is done by reading, researching and reviewing the literature on the subject under study.The population is determined and limited to employees of PT.YKT Gear Indonesia, namely a number of 260 employees, with a sample of 133 employees by determining the sample using the formula on the slovin method.The data obtained were analyzed using SmartPLS software.

Descriminant Validity Test Results
Discriminant validity is done to ensure that each concept in the latent model is separate from other variables.Checking validity determines how accurately the measuring device performs its measurement tasks (Ghozali, 2016)

AVE Test Result
Additional techniques for verifying discriminant validity include looking at the relationship between each configuration and the other configurations in the model, as well as the square root of the average extracted variance for each configuration.The value of the discriminant validity is stated to be good (> 0, 5).

Composite Reliability of Cronbach's Alpha and Test Results
