N = 191: 66 hierarchical (35%), 62 network (32%), and 63 sequential (33%). aAdjusted means (with control variables) of each goal model condition are reported. Predictors are dummy-coded (e.g., Hierarchical Model: hierarchical = 1, network = 0, sequential = 0). The statistical model(s) tested for each dependent variable are numbered accordingly. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
