Analysis procedures The proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). Two models were tested. Model 1 (Partial mediation model) was used to test H1, H2, H3, H5 and H6. The combined results of Model 1 and Model 2 (Direct effect model) were useful in testing H4. Measures for the key constructs included in the models are assumed to be reflective. in nature consistent with previous research. Hence, a reflective specification of the first-order dimensions is assumed
