Results from Table 5: Sig. denotes a significant direct effect; Nsig. denotes a non-significant direct effect.

a

This sum (0.0446 + 0.5832) is not equal to R2 (0.5387), note that the contribution of training to the explained variance of O. Performance is negative, but very small. This commonly occurs when the sign of the zero-order correlation is the opposite of the sign of the path coefficient (Menard, 2009). In Model B, the path coefficient c′ is negative, but very small and non-significant direct effect.

b

This sum (0.0692 + 0.4822) is not equal to R2 (0.4130), note that the contribution of training to the explained variance of Innovation is negative, but very small. In Model C, the path coefficient a 2 is negative, but very small and non-significant direct effect.
