...Aamir Rashid; Rizwana Rasheed Purpose This paper aims to interrogate a widely accepted assumption in organizational research and related applied social science domains: that the routine use of structural equation modeling ( SEM ) constitutes rigorous theory testing. It argues that, in much SEM...

Design/methodology/approach Using survey data from Ukrainian banking customers, the authors used confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Based on a previously validated...

... ) and dyadic data. The authors use partial least squares structural equation modeling to test the hypotheses, examining the mediating effect of autonomy and the moderating effect of Machiavellianism on the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. Findings Results...

..., the present research investigates the mediating role of work engagement (WE) for both studies. Design/methodology/approach Two samples of 339 and 141 Italian workers participated by filling in a self-report questionnaire. Measuring models and hypotheses have been tested by structural equation models...

.../methodology/approach The sample for this study consisted of 187 Pakistani employees who were selected from three units of a large footwear company. The research hypotheses were tested through structural equation modelling. Findings Results showed that as theorized, organizational identification fully...

...-commerce sites’ brand pages on Facebook through Google form application. A number of respondents are 1,038. Structural equation modeling technique has been used to examine the effects of online reviews on functional and hedonic brand images. Findings The data analysis reveals that source and review...

.../approach Suggestions for research were gleaned from current sources in research methodology. The example provided was a study of 398 employees who were surveyed on spirituality, job satisfaction and intent to leave their job. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test three research hypotheses...

... the hypotheses. They develop the survey instrument through a literature review, expert interviews, a pre-test and an item-sorting test. To analyze the data from 348 management consultants, the authors apply structural equation modeling. Additionally, they choose a triangulation approach by asking secondary...

... validation. For an analysis of the collected data, structural equation modeling was employed using two strategies. Findings – The findings indicate that, in the model estimation stage, the scales for behavior and attitude have been reduced. Among all of the models estimated, the best adjusted model...

... in Poland. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used in the process of statistical analysis. Findings – The research confirmed a significant statistical relationship between IWB and all studied variables: PSOC, OCB and P-O Fit. On the basis of the analysis, using SEM, it may be concluded that PSOC...
