After literature review, current draft as below:
Variables:
Independent = B (represented by I, M, O, S, C),
Moderating = W
Dependent = F
Control = CV
Hypotheses:
H1a. I has significant positive relationship with F.
H1b. M has significant positive relationship with F.
H1c. O has significant positive relationship with F.
H1d. S has significant positive relationship with F.
H1e. C has significant positive relationship with F.
H2. W has significant positive relationship with F.
H3a. W strengthen the positive relationship between I and F.
H3b. W strengthen the positive relationship between M and F.
H3c. W strengthen the positive relationship between O and F.
H3d. W strengthen the positive relationship between S and F.
H3e. W strengthen the negative relationship between C and F.
H4. B has a significant positive relationship with F.
H5. W strengthen the positive relationship between B and F.
Proposed Equations:
1) Pit = a + β1Iit + β2Mit + β3Oit + β4Sit + β5Cit + β6CVit + εit [H1a-e]
2) Pit = a + β1Iit + β2Mit + β3Oit + β4Sit + β5Cit + β6Wit + β7Iit x Wit + β8Mit x Wit + β9Oit x Wit + β10Sit x Wit + β11Cit x Wit +β12CVit + εit [H2 & H3a-e]
Question:
1) Are the proposed equations appropriated to test respective hypotheses?
2) Should an equation (e.g. weighted score for B based on I, M, O, S, C) be formulated to test H4 & H5? or It is not necessary but to conclude H4 & H5 as a whole based on the individual estimating result of H1a-e, H2 and h3a-e.
Thanks for advice / sharing in advance.
