This is followed by Customer-focused (CF) was 0.463 and the p-value was 0.000. On the other hand, the lowest correlation among variables was Training (TRA) with 0.432 and the p-value was 0.000. The results of the correlation matrix show that the values of correlation were less than 0.80 and ranged between 0.542 and 0.432.
