The original outline of constructs and indicators

Constructs (latent variables) Indicators (explicit variables)
P1: the SRCPs in terms of its effectiveness P1_1 I have the conviction that my company/institution has at some time been covered by regional supportP1_2 I consider the level of development of the cluster initiative of which my company/institution is a member to be highP1_3 Participation in the cluster initiative has positively translated into the level of development of my company/institution
P2: the SRCPs in terms of its utility P2_1 I believe that the regional support tools and instruments available so far, directed at the establishment, development or guiding of cluster initiatives, were well suited to the needs of the initiative of which my company/institution is a memberP2_2 The regional tools and support instruments available so far directed to the establishment/development/animation of cluster initiatives were well suited to the needs of my company/institutionP2_3 Regional activities to date dedicated to clusters or cluster members have, in practice, led to the realisation of an important need of my company/institution
P3: FIE P3_1 From the point of view of my company/institution, the offer of public services managed by regional institutions has so far/since joining the EU been broadP3_2 I believe that the quality of public regional institutions so far/since joining the EU has been highP3_3 I believe that the voivodship has developed a well-functioning regional innovation systemP3_4 So far/since joining the EU, there have been many interesting services for my company/institution in the offer of regional business environment institutions
P4: the normative dimension of SC P4_1 I believe that giving bribes is wrongP4_2 I believe that people can be trustedP4_3 I believe that people primarily try to help othersP4_4 I believe that it is necessary for a person who wants to be a good citizen to participate in elections
P5: The structural dimension of SC P5_1 I think it is imperative for people to be actively involved in the communityP5_2 I believe that people should be members of some organisations, associations, clubs, parties, councils or circlesP5_3 I think it is imperative for people to have a very good relationship with their neighboursP5_4 I believe that people should actively engage in volunteering
