The research hypothesis was tested using regression analysis. H1, H2 and H3 were tested by running simple linear regression model. The mediating effect of SMA information use (H4) is tested by following the procedure outline by Frazier, Barron, and Tix (2004). The procedure consist of four steps as follows:
1. Indicate that the information literacy (IV) has a significant effect on managrial
performance (DV).
2. Indicate that information literacy (IV) has a significant effect on SMA information
use (MV).
3. Showed that SMA information use (MV) has a significant effect on managerial
Performance.
4. Showed that the strength of information literacy (IV) on managerial performance
(DV) reduced or become zero after SMA information use as a mediating variable
incorporated into the model.
Mediating variable can act as a full or partial mediator. If, after the inclusion of mediating variable (SMA information use) the effect of independent variable (information literacy) on the dependent variable (managerial performance) become zero, then the mediating variable (SMA information use) acts as a full mediator. However, if after the inclusion of the mediating variable (SMA information use), the influence of the independent variable (information literacy) on the dependent variable (managerial performance) is only reduced from the previous (greater than zero), then the mediating variable (SMA) acts as partial mediator.
