The grand design this study adopts, is survey finding expression in the use of both questionnaires. Using systematic approach, three hundred and fifty (350) students from the three colleges (FCET, CELS and COEB) under review who are from different disciplines and different ethnic groups in Nigeria were target ed as the respondents. The data was presented and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The hypothesized relationship between SPIS; PSN and SPC was tested and the findings of this study support the relationship that PSN; SPIS are related to SPC.
