Results of mediation effect analysis.
| Hypothesis | Independent variables | Mediator | Dependent variables | Direct effect (T) | Indirect effect (T) | Overall effect | VAF | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| H6 | IO | SMF | AN | 0.045 (1.049) | 0.025 (2.598) | 0.069 | 36.23 % | true |
| H7 | CO | 0.226 (4.186) | 0.053 (3.703) | 0.278 | 19.06 % | false | ||
| H8 | SO | 0.160 (3.309) | 0.027 (2.476) | 0.187 | 14.44 % | false | ||
| H9 | IO | SMF | HS | −0.193 (5.057) | −0.064 (2.981) | −0.258 | 24.81 % | true |
| H10 | CO | 0.008 (0.184) | −0.137 (5.291) | −0.129 | 106.20 % | true | ||
| H11 | SO | −0.037 (0.898) | −0.070 (3.054) | −0.107 | 65.42 % | true |
Note: The VAF >80 % indicates full mediation, 20 % ≤ VAF ≥80 % shows partial mediation while VAF <20 % assumes no mediation.
