Note(s): N = 310. CI = confidence interval; CSB = compassionate service behavior; LMX = leader-member exchange; SE = standard error. Results for the direct and indirect effects were calculated using model 4 of the PROCESS macro for IBM SPSS. Results for the moderating effect of LMX on the relationship between workplace uncertainty and compassionate service behavior were generated using model 1 of the PROCESS macro for IBM SPSS. Results for index of moderated mediation and conditional indirect effects were calculated using model 14 of the PROCESS macro for IBM SPSS. Unstandardized path estimates are reported in this table with confidence intervals of the indirect and conditional indirect effects based on 5000 bootstrap samples. Model covariates included gender and organizational tenure
