Table 3.

Results of the multiple linear regression. Regression included only those variables with tolerance >0.1 and the variance inflation factor (VIF) <10 during coillinearity diagnostics. If the value of tolerance is less than 0.2 and, simultaneously, the value of VIF 10 and above, then the multicollinearity is problematic (Hair et al., 2010).
