The structural equation model consists of several ovals and rectangular boxes connected by solid arrows. On the far left, an oval is labeled “S C I”. Two diagonal arrows originate from this oval: an upward arrow labeled “0.481 three asterisks” leads to an oval at the top center labeled “S C C”, and a downward arrow labeled “0.519 three asterisks” leads to an oval at the bottom center labeled “D T”. From the “S C C” oval, a horizontal arrow labeled “0.509 three asterisks” points rightward to an oval labeled “S C F P” at the top, and a diagonal downward arrow labeled “0.532 three asterisks” points to an oval labeled “S C N F P” at the bottom. A rectangular box positioned between the “S C C” and “D T” ovals is labeled “S C C cross D T”. From this box, an upward diagonal arrow labeled “0.610 three asterisks” points to “S C F P”, and a downward diagonal arrow labeled “0.592 three asterisks” points to “S C N F P”. From the “D T” oval, an upward diagonal arrow labeled “0.463 three asterisks” points to “S C F P”, and a horizontal arrow labeled “0.450 three asterisks” points rightward to “S C N F P”. On the far right, two rectangular boxes are vertically stacked: the top is labeled “Firm reputation”, and the bottom is labeled “Firm size”. From “Firm reputation”, a diagonal downward arrow labeled “0.062 one asterisk” points to “S C F P”, and another diagonal downward arrow labeled “0.043” points to “S C N F P”. From “Firm size”, an upward diagonal arrow labeled “0.035” points to “S C F P”, and a downward diagonal arrow labeled “0.029” points to “S C N F P”. From the “S C N F P” oval, four arrows points downwards to smaller ovals arranged horizontally and arranged left to right as follows: “S C O P”, “S C I P”, “S C C S P”, and “S C N P”. These arrows are labeled as “0.878 three asterisks”, “0.947 three asterisks”, “0.873 three asterisks”, and “0.865 three asterisks”, respectively.Path model of the relationships between SCI and SCP
