Simple slopes: extrinsic motivation predicting job satisfaction at each level of job level.

Job level	β	se	t(302)	p	95% ci
Staff/Specialist (coded 0)	0.52	0.09	5.78	< 0.001	[0.34, 0.70]
Supervisor/Manager (coded 1)	0.42	0.07	6.00	< 0.001	[0.28, 0.56]
Director/Senior manager (coded 2)	0.31	0.10	3.10	0.002	[0.11, 0.51]

Simple slopes derived from the hierarchical regression Model 3 using Job Level coding: 0 = Staff/Specialist, 1 = Supervisor/Manager, 2 = Director/Senior Manager. The Supervisor/Manager level is reported here for completeness of the hierarchical gradient; however, the formal moderation test (H8) is specified at the theoretically meaningful extremes of Staff/Specialist (coded 0) and Director/Senior Manager (coded 2), consistent with the analytical strategy detailed in Section 3.5. 95% CIs computed as β ± 1.967 × SE (t critical, df = 302, α = 0.05, two-tailed).
