Then, the Delphi method was used to validate the model and 31 people were selected by snowball sampling based on their academic, research or executive in organization and management. A questionnaire based on model components was provided to them. The consensus index increased in the three rounds, so that the Kendall coefficient in the third round was higher than 0.7, indicating a strong consensus among the experts on the model components.
