“…A AFC (AMOS 16.0) foi utilizada para testar os modelos propostos na literatura, utilizando-se o método de estimação maximuum likelihood e respeitando-se um número mínimo de 10 observações por item (Ding, Velicer, & Harlow, 1995). Após a especificação e estimação do modelo, a sua adequação foi avaliada por um conjunto de índices de ajustamento/adequação.…”

ResumoO propósito do estudo foi examinar a confiabilidade, evidências de validade fatorial, invariância (por género, tipo de esporte e nível competitivo) e evidências de validade convergente do CSAI-2. A amostra total foi composta de 375 atletas (284 do sexo masculino e 91 do sexo feminino). Para as evidências de validade convergente, a amostra foi constituída de 163 atletas (115 do sexo masculino e 48 do sexo feminino). Os atletas responderam aos instrumentos (CSAI-2 e versão reduzida do IDATE) uma hora antes do início das competições. Os resultados revelaram confiabilidade (α > 0,70) e bons índices de ajustamento (CFI = 0,959, GFI = 0,942 e RMSEA = 0,044) para o modelo reduzido de 17 itens (CSAI-2R). A invariância e as evidencias de validade convergente foram suportadas. A versão brasileira reduzida do CSAI-2 revelou boas propriedades psicométricas, sustentando a sua utilização em atletas brasileiros. Palavras-chaves: Ansiedade competitiva, evidências de validade, invariância. AbstractThe purpose of the study was to examine the reliability, factorial validity evidence, invariance (by gender, type of sport and competitive level) and evidence of convergent validity of the CSAI-2. The total sample consisted of 375 athletes (284 males and 91 females). For evidence of convergent validity, the sample consisted of 163 athletes (115 males and 48 females). The athletes responded to the instruments (CSAI-2 and reduced version of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory -STAI) an hour before starting competitions. The results showed reliability (α > .70) and good indices of fit (CFI = .959, GFI = .942 and RMSEA = .044) for the reduced model of 17 items (CSAI-2R). The invariance and the evidence of convergent validity were supported. The Brazilian reduced version of CSAI-2 showed good psychometric properties, supporting its use in Brazilian athletes. Keywords: Competitive anxiety, evidence of validity, invariance.

“…At the 5% level of significance, the value of Hoelter's index for our model amounts to 121, which is satisfyingly close to the value of 118, the number of respondents in our sample. The appropriateness of the sample size is also in accordance with Ding et al (1995) recommendation.…”

“…One of the most commonly used methods in SEM is the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). In order to use MLE appropriately, Ding et al (1995) recommend a minimum sample size ranging between 100 and 150 respondents. In addition, Hoelter's critical N is often used as a standard sample size that would make the obtained fit significant.…”

Abstract:The aim of this research was to explore one of the most intriguing dimensions of every firm's business-its performance. Aside from analysing the influence of industry's characteristics on the firm's performance, the authors addressed the characteristics of dynamic capabilities and their role in contribution to the firm's ultimate success. The analysis was conducted on a sample of 118 small Croatian manufacturing companies. The application of the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach revealed a statistically significant influence of both the industry's characteristics (represented by Porter's five forces framework) and dynamic capabilities (based on Teece's theory) on the firm's performance, where the influence of dynamic capabilities is proven to be larger than that of the industry.

“…The structural equation models integrate a measurement model and a structural model (Iacobucci, 2008). Since 100-150 participants are sufficient to conduct structural equation modeling (Ding et al, 1995), the number of participants (n = 179) in this study is suitable for the use of SEM. Table 1 shows the means, standard deviations, Cronbach alpha values of the variables in the model and correlation coefficients between these variables.…”

Problem statement:The examination of organizational citizenship behaviors as the mediating variable through which human resource practices affect firm performance is still scarce. Approach: This study examined the mediation effects of organizational citizenship behaviors on the relationships between selected human resource practices and firm performance. The human resource practices studied were reward and performance appraisal practices and firm performance was studied in terms of quality of services. Data were collected from a sample of 179 branches of two banks in Tehran, Iran. The participants in this study included 176 managerial employees, 352 non-managerial employees and 871 customers. To achieve these objectives a mediation model was tested using structural equation modeling procedure to examine if the hypothesized model fit the data. Results: The results showed that organizational citizenship behaviors fully mediated the relationships between reward practices and quality of services and partially mediated the relationships between performance appraisal practices and quality of services. Conclusion/Recommendations: The findings of this study suggest that human resource practices play a critical role in enhancing employees' organizational citizenship behaviors and firm performance. Organizational citizenship behaviors mediate the effects of reward and performance appraisal practices on service quality. To improve service quality, employers should improve reward and performance appraisal practices since these practices have an impact on employees' organizational citizenship behaviors which in turn would affect service quality.
