Results: Based on confirmatory factor analysis results of both dimensions, the correlation coefficients indices between all variables and the present variables (dimensions) are significant since their T-values is significance at the alpha level of 0.05 and the fit indices of NFI, CFI, IFI in both dimensions are greater than 0.9. Conclusion: The results revealed that the measurement model of research variables on dimensions of ethical-commitment and technical and technological is appropriate.
