“…Although some significant inter‐correlations between the independent variables were observed, none of the correlation coefficients was above the level considered to be serious, which is generally accepted as 0.80 or higher (Hair et al, ). Iacobucci, Schneider, Popovich, and Bakamitsos () suggest that “mean centering clarifies regression coefficients (that is good) without altering the overall R 2 (that is also good) and helps researchers alleviate both micro and macro multicollinearity” (p. 403). Thus, before the analysis, all the variables were mean centered to minimize the threat of multicollinearity.…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate political activities are complementary, and the coordinated management of corporate social responsibility and corporate political activities may lead to better firm performance. However, corporate social responsibility and corporate political activities should be aligned carefully to utilize this complementarity. Strategic flexibility, which is the ability of a firm to adapt to changes in the external environment and make necessary organizational modifications quickly, can help firms to align their corporate social responsibility and corporate political activities. This paper empirically investigates the political dimension and the interactive dimension which describes interactions between corporate social responsibility and corporate political activities together with strategic flexibility and their effects on firm performance through a study of 142 firms in Turkey using moderated multiple regression methods. The results show that, while the political dimension had an inverted U‐shaped effect on firm performance, indicating that only a moderate level of corporate political activities may improve financial performance, the interactive dimension had positive but limited implications for performance. Finally, it was found strategic flexibility plays a positive moderating role on the relationships between the interactive dimension and firm performance. It is concluded that complementarity between corporate social responsibility and corporate political activities which may result in better performance is contingent on strategic flexibility.

“…Candidate models were tested to residual’s homoscedasticity (Ou et al, 2015). Also, multicollinearity between predictive variables was evaluated (Iacobucci et al, 2017). Furthermore, a correction for optimistic prediction and overfitting was performed according to Harrell’s bootstrapping algorithm (Harrell et al, 1996), which is based on using bootstrapped datasets to internally validate the multiple linear regression models as well as to repeatedly quantify the degree of overfitting in the model-building process.…”

Models Integrating Genetic and Lifestyle Interactions on Two Adiposity Phenotypes for Personalized Prescription of Energy-Restricted Diets With Different Macronutrient Distribution

et al. 2019

Aim: To analyze the influence of genetics and interactions with environmental factors on adiposity outcomes [waist circumference reduction (WCR) and total body fat loss (TFATL)] in response to energy-restricted diets in subjects with excessive body weight. Materials and Methods: Two hypocaloric diets (30% energy restriction) were prescribed to overweight/obese subjects during 16 weeks, which had different targeted macronutrient distribution: a low-fat (LF) diet (22% energy from lipids) and a moderately high-protein (MHP) diet (30% energy from proteins). At the end of the trial, a total of 201 participants (LF diet = 105; MHP diet = 96) who presented good/regular dietary adherence were genotyped for 95 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously associated with weight loss through next-generation sequencing from oral samples. Four unweighted (uGRS) and four weighted (wGRS) genetic risk scores were computed using statistically relevant SNPs for each outcome by diet. Predictions of WCR and TFATL by diet were modeled through recognized multiple linear regression models including genetic (single SNPs, uGRS, and wGRS), phenotypic (age, sex, and WC, or TFAT at baseline), and environment variables (physical activity level and energy intake at baselines) as well as eventual interactions between genes and environmental factors. Results: Overall, 26 different SNPs were associated with differential adiposity outcomes, 9 with WCR and 17 with TFATL, most of which were specific for each dietary intervention. In addition to conventional predictors (age, sex, lifestyle, and adiposity status at baseline), the calculated uGRS/wGRS and interactions with environmental factors were major contributors of adiposity responses. Thus, variances in TFATL-LF diet, TFATL-MHP diet, WCR-LF diet, and WCR-MHP diet were predicted by approximately 38% (optimism-corrected adj. R 2 = 0.3792), 32% (optimism-corrected adj. R 2 = 0.3208), 22% (optimism-corrected adj. R 2 = 0.2208), and 21% (optimism-corrected adj. R 2 = 0.2081), respectively. Conclusions: Different genetic variants and interactions with environmental factors modulate the differential individual responses to MHP and LF dietary interventions. These insights and models may help to optimize personalized nutritional strategies for modeling the prevention and management of excessive adiposity through precision nutrition approaches taking into account not only genetic information but also the lifestyle/clinical factors that interplay in addition to age and sex.

“…The final step consisted of the Perceived Entitlement Behavior × LMX interaction term. Cohen, Cohen, West, and Aiken (2013) recommended centering all predictors whereas others contend that centering eases interpretation of results in moderated regression analyses (Iacobucci, Schneider, Popovich, & Bakamitsos, 2017). For these reasons, all predictors were centered.…”

Supervisor-subordinate work relationships are based on a series of potentially fluctuating resource allocation episodes. Building on this reality, we hypothesized in the present research that supervisor-subordinate work relationship quality will neutralize the negative attitudinal and behavioral strain effects associated with perceptions of others' entitlement behavior. We draw upon the transactional theory of stress, and the social exchange and support features of leader-member exchange theory, to explain our expected neutralizing effects on job tension, job satisfaction, and contextual performance/citizenship behavior. Results supported study hypotheses in Sample 1. Findings were replicated in Sample 2 and extended by also demonstrating the interaction effect on task performance. Contributions to
