In communication research, a mediating variable isa variable that links the independent and the dependent variables, and whose existence explains the relationship between the other two variables. A mediating variable is also known as a mediator variable or an intervening variable. What is moderator in...
Does association imply causation why or why not? What three factors are needed to establish causation? How do you make a web of causation? Why is the effect of the hypothesis on the dependent variable? What do environmental factors mean in science?
If a mediating variable is involved, control for that variable will result in a lower correlation. For example, if living close to a public transport hub adds to income chances and through higher income to greater happiness, control for income will reduce the correlation between availability of ...
In other words, there are technology tools and mediating business processes that allow interactions and transactions between different actors in the network. When digitalization occurs on the sides of both demand and supply, the value networks start to become useful in the attempt toward strategic pos...
(Kleine et al.,2019) that conceptualizes thriving as a mediator between relational resources and well-being, we propose that leadership can also be a relational resource for leaders and, hence, associated with more thriving. Time pressure, in turn, is a crucial variable when studying leadership...
In a sensitivity analysis, we used community distance to the nearest train station as a plausible instrumental variable to address the challenge of endogeneity. However, like other observational studies, the validity of this approach relies on the assumption of exclusion that cannot be verified. ...
The purpose of this study is to understand the role of professional isolation and work–family balance (WFB) as talent retention strategies, considering organizational commitment (OC) and the mediating role of job satisfaction (JS) among IT employees in the technological industry have been forced by...
First, all variables were mean-centred, and a dummy variable was created for sex (0 for males and 1 for females). Subsequently, we ran a set of 5 moderated hierarchical regressions, one for each EDEQ subscale in addition to the total. As predictors for these dependent variables, we ...
Recent studies suggest that teacher messages can affect students’ well-being. Using a multilevel, variable, and person-centred approach, this study a
variable and trusting intentions was computed to measure the dispersion of observed effects around the mean (Borenstein et al.2017). Should Q surpass the critical Q on a χ2distribution with n − 1 degrees of freedom, where n is the number of studies, we would reject the null ...
