Hi Everyone,
Both approaches have explained the effect of mediation in the relationship between exogenous and endogenous variables, however, the results almost met the study hypotheses.
Thank you
Actually, you can choose one method. Bootstrapping method will be recommended. Some paper may present both of the two methods, Baron & Kenny's and bootstrapping method. For an introduction to bootstrapping method, you may refer to these papers.

Thank you guys
Usama_Rehman, finally I chose one, but in the result part, I reviewed both methods just to support my study results..
Ali Nasser Al-Tahitah, I have used the same method as you where in result part I have mentioned both the methods now the same has been questioned by the reviewers. Any idea how to respond the comment or any reference where both the methods has been used in one paper?
Also the reviewers indirectly suggest to defend Baron and Kelley approach.
How to answer the same with strong justification and citation.
