The revised model is shown inFigure 11.5. The operational construct remains as per the originally proposed modelbecause operational drivers of measurement are confirmed. The sociologicalconstruct has been adjusted following results in Table 11.2. Ten behavioursidentified through a literature review are reduced to the three most significantbehaviours prevalent from participant’s views. These are relationships,communication and incentives. Furthermore, the ability of such behaviours to existwithin a framework agreement is through an underlying factor of duration. Theunderlying factor is represented by a continuous ring.265
