Descriptive statistical analysis wasconducted to describe the respondents. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used todetermine the relationships among variables and Structural Equation Modeling using AMOSversion 16.0 was utilized for model testing and to verify the presence of mediation effects.Further, the Soble¡¯s z-test was used to test whether the mediators carry the effect of theindependent variables on the dependent variable. The findings indicated that there were positiverelationships among variables. The results also established the presence of mediation effectsbetween the independent and dependent variables.
