We are studying the relationship between a firm's human capital decisions and its competitiveness in the marketplace. The firms offer services and hence human capital is critical. However, the firms are registered in three different countries and of different ages (ranging from 1 yr to over 20 years)
Hi,
For testing moderating effects with few variables you can use SPSS to do a simple path analisys.
If you want to test several variables, I recommned Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS or R software.
We are going to use STATA for our research. There will be two moderating variables.
If your moderating variables are country and firm age, you need to compute a qualitative variable to identify the country (0,0;0,1 and 1,0) and you can use the quantitive variable firm age.
whenever the moderator is nominal, we use multi-group analyses and compare constrained and unconstrained models to evaluate moderation (Hair et.al., 2012)

For the moderation role, you may use hierarchical regression analysis or you can use Strtuctural Equation Modeling for this purpose.
