The path diagram includes seven ovals connected with arrows. The oval on the left is labeled “F R.” To the slightly right of it, two ovals are positioned, arranged vertically. The top oval is labeled “D F I,” and the bottom oval is labeled “A I Q.” Additionally, on the right side, two ovals are present, arranged vertically. The top oval on the right is labeled “V C C,” and the bottom oval on the right is labeled “G W.” One large oval is present on the far right labeled “S C R.” Another large oval is present at the bottom between “V C C,” “G W,” and “S C R.” This oval include the following text information “Fage, F Size, Leverage, R O E, L S, S G, Year, I n d.” This large oval is connected to “S C R” via a dashed upward arrow. “D F I” and “A I Q” are connected to “S C R” via individual rightward arrows labeled “H 1” and “H 2,” respectively. “D F I” and “A I Q” are connected to “V C C” via individual rightward arrows labeled “H 3” and “H 4,” respectively. “D F I” and “A I Q” are connected to “G W” via individual rightward arrows labeled “H 5” and “H 6,” respectively. Curved rightward arrows labeled “H 7” and “H 8” point from “F R” to arrows labeled “H 1” and “H 2,” respectively.Theoretical framework, where DFI and AIQ are independent while SCR is dependent. VCC and GW mediate the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. FR acts as a moderator between independent and dependent variables.
