t-value
Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2018 12:43 am
Greetings everyone,
I would like to know how to answer a question raised by a Prof. So my model consists of:
Job satisfaction - Firm performance (Direct relationship) = t-value of 4.56
Job satisfaction - Perceived fairness - Firm performance (Perceived fairness as a mediator) = t-value of 16.89
The question raised was, since job satisfaction showed significance to firm performance, why do we include perceived fairness as a mediator?
Can I respond to that question by looking at the t-values? For e.g. using perceived fairness as a mediator showed a higher t-value; thus a more effective way to achieve high firm performance than the direct relationship of job satisfaction and firm performance alone? Please advise. Thank you.
