SANTANA-RODRIGUEZ, Laura; PEREZ-LORENCES, Patricia  and  ABREU-LEDON, René. The management of Information Technologies: confirmatory factor analysis. Ing. Ind. [online]. 2019, vol.40, n.3, pp.272-284.  Epub Oct 25, 2019. ISSN 1815-5936.

The management of information technologies plays a significant role in organizations, given the importance that is given to the business to each of the components that comprise it individually. However, the interrelation that exists between all edges has not been empirically tested, using statistical or mathematical methods that give foundation and credibility to this relationship. In the present investigation, a multivariate statistical technique was applied in order to verify the relationship between these components: the Structural Equation Models, specifically the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, an extremely useful procedure in the field of hypothesis testing and confirmation of theories. As a result, the empirical validation of all the interrelationships was obtained, the differentiation of the levels of interrelation between the different components and the identification of which elements of the evaluated ones have greater influence within each component.

Keywords : information technology; structural equation models; confirmatory factor analysis.
