Assignment $19-$ Impact of MPROC and OBM on Employee Performance

Read the following article and answer the related questions. Note that this article is a little different in that it really has a human resource management focus rather than an operations management$/$supply chain management focus. The authors look at how managers can impact Employee performance. You have two data sets to analyze with this assignment. Read the article and answer the following questions:

Sumlin, C$.,$ De Oliveira, M$.$ J$.,$ Conde, R$.,$ & Green, K$.$ W$.(2024).$ Do the management process and organizational behavior modification enhance an ethical environment and organizational trust in the US and Brazil?

What is the purpose of the study?$|$

Define the four variables$/$constructs in Figure $1.$

List the five hypotheses in Figure $1.$

From which group of experts did the authors gather data? How many different samples were used for this study?

Which statistical methodology did the authors use to generate the statistics displayed in Figure $2$a and $2b?$ Note that this method is similar to your use of regression$/$path analysis.

Look at the statistical results of the US sample presented in Figure $2$A in the Sumlin et al$.,2024$ research article. You can interpret the coefficients on the direct arrows just as you did the betas from your previous regression$/$path analysis assignments. Be sure to provide the beta values and significance levels.

a$.$ Does MPROC directly impact ETHENV?

b$.$ Does OBM directly impact ETHENV?

c$.$ Does MPROC directly impact EMPERF?

d$.$ Does OBM directly impact EMPERF?

e$.$ Does ETHENV directly impact EMPERF?

f$.$ Does MPROC indirectly impact EMPERF through ETHENV?

g$.$ Does OBM indirectly impact EMPERF through ETHENV?

Look at the statistical results of the Brazilian sample presented in Figure $2B$ in the Sumlin et al$.2024$ research article. You can interpret the coefficients on the direct arrows just as you did the betas from your regression$/$path analysis assignments. Be sure to provide the beta values and significance levels.
