This study examines the effect of tertius iungens orientation on knowledge sharing activity within a social media environment. In addition, the study also introduces, based on the social cognitive theory and social capital theory, individual and social factors which influence tertius iungens orientation and knowledge sharing activity in social media. The research model was assessed using data c...

This study investigates whether a consumer’s need for social affiliation and a consumer’s relationship proneness impact behavioural intentions (word-of-mouth communication, price sensitivity, repeat purchasing) towards a hairdresser’s. Data were collected from a systematic sample of a hairdresser’s consumers in Belgium. LISREL results revealed that need for social affiliation is a strong determ...

This investigation examines the relations between transforma-tional/transactional leadership and performance indicators of 20 diierent banks, using a sample of some 1500 observations. Leadership behavior is measured by the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), which i s used for the rst time in the German-speaking area. The psychometric quality of the German MLQ is analyzed and found to b...

The concomitant proliferation of causal modeling and hypotheses of multiplicative effects has brought about a tremendous need for procedures that allow the testing of moderated structural equation models (MSEMs). The seminal work of Kenny and Judd and Hayduk has been drawn on by several authors in the past 10 years, thus producing procedures that allow for such tests. Yet, utilization of MSEMs ...

Remember LISREL? Many of us can recall a time when papers were accepted (or rejected) in peer-reviewed journals based on the choice of this then-preferred method. Alas, criminology has witnessed a recurring sequence of hegemonic statistical methods. Before LISREL came path analysis and before that factor analysis was all the rage; in the 1980s event history analysis ruled for a brief stint and ...

Separating sexual relationship from having a child has led to a different and unprecedented lifestyle in human history. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the socioeconomic and emotional factors predicting decision making for timing motherhood among Iranian women using the...

The well-known simplex model is extended to a model that may be used for the genetic and environmental analysis of covariance structures. This "double" simplex structure can be specified as a LISREL model. It is shown that data which give rise to a simplex correlation structure, such as repeated-measures data, do not fit a factor-analysis model. The parameter estimation of the simplex model is ...

Whereas measures of explained variance in a regression and an equation of a recursive structural equation model can be simply summarized by a standard R2 measure, this is not possible in nonrecursive models in which there are reciprocal interdependencies among variables. This article provides a general approach to defining variance explained in latent dependent variables of nonrecursive linear ...
