Nature: This study was absolutely quantitative and descriptive in nature.

Data collection procedure: Primary data sought through instrument (close-ended questionnaire) on 7-point Likert scale.

Population & Sample: First Line Managers (FLMs) were targeted for data collection, who were considered as the target population of the current study. A sample of 100 FLMs were taken into consideration for descriptive analysis through convenience sampling.

Data analysis tools: SPSS was used for descriptive analysis which including response rate of the survey, Demographic profile of the participants, Cronbach’s Alpha (CBA), Mean, Standard Deviation (SD), Corrected Item Total Correlation (CITC) and Cronbach’s Alpha If Item Deleted (CBAIID). Eventually, Factor Analysis (FA) measured by PLS-SEM.

Results: All factors and items measured significant and qualified to attain set threshold values of CBA, Mean, SD, CITC, CBAIID and FA except OI-1, OI-3, OI-5 and OI-7. Therefore, considered good fit for further testing for the main study.

Conclusions: Four items were considered to be revised or revisited out of thirty. However, all other items were taken into consideration for further testing to complete the main study.

Future research directions: This instrument was considered to be equally important for other sectors to collect the data and determine relationships between factors such as TL, OC and OI. A new factor can add further value in it.
