Cronbach alpha values for work engagement shows a very high significant value for 9 items for work engagement. Data is considered to be reliable if its value is greater than 0.5. From the analysis it can be seen that Cronbach alpha value for work engagement stands to be 0.953. It indicates that is highly reliable to be undertaken for the research. Further, in order to test the validity of the data KMO and Bartlett's Test Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin has been applied by the researcher. Even this value must be greater than 0.5 and from the analysis it can be said that measure of sampling adequacy is greater than 0.913. This shows that validity with respect to data is also high considering work engagement.
