For accepting the construct validity in the Iraq context, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) based on the Structural Equation Model: SEM using the LISREL (8.5) software was done. Results showed that the value of t-statistic in all cases was greater than 1.96 or less than -1.96, so it could be concluded that the questions of the questionnaire provided a suitable factor structure for measuring the dimensions studied in the research model. And also the values for the fit indices, RMSEA was 0.077 and smaller than 0.08, so this model is acceptable. The value of Chisquare meant that χ2/DF (equal 2.74, and is between1 - 3. The value of CFI, IFI, GFI, NFI was larger than 0.9. The Cronbach\\\'s alpha obtained for the questionnaire was 0.799, which is higher than 0.7, so the reliability of the questionnaire could be confirmed.
