Later, they were regrouped into 9 factors, according to their similarity of characteristics and justifications (service culture, proactive personality, group dynamics, and sense of belongings, corporate communications, and involvement and exceeding expectations). Though the objectives of this research were met, further research has to be carried out to determine significant demographic factors and to observe the relationships to the various factors that the researcher has developed.
