Note(s):

n = 347; bootstrap samples = 5,000. Models controlled for gender, age and education. Direct and indirect effects are reported as unstandardised coefficients. Confidence intervals are 95% bootstrap confidence intervals for the indirect effects. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001. CL = collaborative; SPL = supplementary; CMPL = complementary; CMPT = competitive relationship; ITR = intention to remain; JST = job security threat, JS = job satisfaction, EE = employee engagement
