the independent variable (business ethical value) was significantly
correlated to the dependent variable (turnover intent).
The first three conditions were met (Table 4), given the
significant correlation among the three constructs. The fourth
condition was also satisfied (see Table 6); the parameter
estimate between business ethical value and turnover intent
in the mediating model became no more significant (full
mediation) than the parameter estimate (g21 = .05; t = 0.86
versus gbev to ti = .31; t = 6.15) in the constrained model. The
difference in x2 value between the constrained model
(x2
(71) = 224.257) and the mediating model (x2
(70) = 168.025)
was statistically significant (Dx2
(Ddf = 1) = 56.232; p < 0.05),
indicating that the mediating model is a significant improvement
over the constrained model.
