Notes: The effect estimates are unstandardized regression coefficients (standard errors in parentheses). The analysis included 5000 bootstrap resamples. Significant effects are flagged with asterisks. LLCI = lower limit bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval; ULCI = upper limit bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval; SEo = service employee origin; SEcb = cultural attribution; SEp = performance attribution; Ss = service satisfaction; PCD = perceived cultural distance
