0.000-0.200. Ini menunjukkan kekuatan korelasi dari kedua variable

tersebut sangat rendah.dari nilai signifikansi (2 tailed) penulis

mendapatkan hasil .447. Hal ini berarti bahwa N.sign>0.05 (5%) dimana

Ho lah yang diterima. Dari hasil hipotesis tersebut dapat dinyatakan bahwa

tidak ada hubungan antara dua variabel yaitu strategy membangun
