46 4.5 Validity and Reliability Test
The reliability coefficient was the amount that inconsistency true to the total of the experiment has been obtained variability. To ensure the reliability and interior reliability of the information. Cronbach's Alpha analysis was used to test the data. The table below shows the Rules of thumb of Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient Range by George and Mallery (2016).
The alpha coefficient range for reliability analysis was displayed in Table 4.7. George
& Mallery (2016) determined that values of 0.4 and lower were considered unacceptable, while values of 0.9 and higher were extremely reliable. The closer the value to 1 influenced the higher the internal consistency reliability of the item.

4.5.1 Reliability Test
The reliability test of the questionnaire was carried out after the pilot test's reliability test. Referring to reliability table below 4.11, it can be designated that all of the two independent variables of competitive advantage conceited as the coefficient standards were

0.9. The coefficient alpha for soft skills showed a very excellent coefficient value of 0.965.
For hard skills, the measurement shows an excellent coefficient value of 0.931 respectively.
Furthermore, competitive advantage gained 0.951 which can be measured as excellent coefficient value.
