Structural equation modelling (SEM) is the first generation path modelling that is widely used by researchers and practitioners nowadays to analyse the interrelationship among variables in a model. In this study, the questionnaire was designed based on nine constructs of exogenous, mediating and endogenous used. Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating condition are as exogenous constructs. The mediating constructs consists of usage, user satisfaction, user anxiety and user resistance. Performance impact becomes one single endogenous construct. The questionnaires were distributed to 300 contractors from G4 and G5 classifications in Malaysia Construction Industry during the workshops organized by CIDB. The total of 250 questionnaires were returned to the researcher for the validity and reliability test in this study. The ultimate objective of this article is to acquire the best fit of a research instrument for the effective study using structural equation model (SEM) that enables the study to take into account the unreliable factors (items) between exogenous and endogenous constructs. The items of the constructs undergo the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) procedure involved in the uni dimensionality test, convergent validity, construct validity and discriminant validity. The result revealed the constructs of the research model achieved the validity and reliability for other further analysis in acquiring high accuracy on the prediction outcomes.
