Also, all the latent variables have average variance extracted (AVE) greater than 0.5, therefore, convergent validity has been achieved. Indicator loadings were all greater than the threshold of 0.7 or higher. Cronbachs alpha coefficients (0.983, 0.981 and 0.981), Jöreskog Rhô (0.973, 0.970 and 0.967) and composite reliability values (0.95, 0.92 and 0.93) of the latent variables were greater than 0.9, which confirms the very high reliability of the model. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) results showed a three-dimensionality of Customer Satisfaction.

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to determine whether the hypothesis of the conceptual framework is acceptable in measuring customer satisfaction. The developed questionnaire was checked for reliability and validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. In order to develop a reliable and valid measurement tool, the general methodological approach recommended by Churchill was followed. This study aims to develop a theoretical and operational instrument for measuring customer satisfaction with clinical laboratory services.

However, there is no reliable and valid scale to measure clinical laboratory customers’ satisfaction in DRC.
