Dear Statalist users,
I am interested in the relationship between work absenteeism (dependent variable) and work-related stress (independent variable) in various occupational sectors.
I want to explore whether "organisational commitment" alter the strength of the absenteeism/work-related stress relationship, in other words if organisational commitment has a moderator role in this relationship.
The literature I have read thus far suggest that an ordinary regression with interaction effect would be sufficient to test the moderator effect of organisational commitment, such that:
absenteeism= a*work-related stress + b*organisational commitment + c*organisational commitment x work-related stress + error term
Does interaction term indeed constitute a measure of the moderation or is a structural equation model (sem) more suitable?
Thank you
Zoe
