“…family and non-family firms), and Panel 2 for family firms only as a further test. According to Fairchild andMcQuillin (2010), Braumoeller (2004), and Jaccard and Turrisi (2003), any conclusions regarding the direct effect of any constitutive terms are meaningless and illegitimate. Hence, every firm's performance indicator was examined in two models (columns): the first column is created to test the direct relationship hypotheses (H1, H2a, and H3a) while the purpose of the second one is to test the interactive (moderating) effect of the two variables: family CEO and Founder CEO (H2b and H3b).…”

This study aims to provide an empirical evidence on the moderating effect of family involvement in management (family CEO and founder CEO) on the relationship between family ownership and firm's performance. From a sample of 75 public listed companies (375 firm-year observations) in Saudi Arabia, we use a five-year interval (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011) and two firm performance indicators (market to book value (MBV) and return on assets (ROA)) to test five hypotheses. The hypotheses that there is a direct impact of family ownership and founder CEO on ROA and MBV were supported respectively. The hypothetical moderating impact of family CEO and founder CEO have been partially confirmed with MBV. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of occupying CEO positions in family firms by family members, especially the founders for gaining better performance. However, the results are robust when only family firms are examined separately.

“…Full mediation is supported if the predictor variable is no longer significant when mediator is included in the model. In short, after reaching step 4 (Table 1), if c≈c', then there is no mediation; if c>c', there is partial mediation; and if c' is not significant, then there is full mediation (Fairchild & McQuillin, 2010).…”

Perceived brand quality (PBQ) and perceived brand prestige (PBP) have been considered very important mechanisms to predict the direct as well as indirect relationship between perceived brand globalness (PBG) and consumer purchase likelihood (CPL) in many studies. However, almost all studies focused on direct influence of PBQ and PBP on CPL, neglecting the mediating role of them. This study, therefore, aims at filling this research gap by investigating the mediating effects of PBQ and PBP on the relationship between the PBG and CPL in the mobile industry applied to the HTC Company. In doing so, this study used the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to analyze a total sample of 439 college student consumers in central Taiwan. Results indicated that PBG and BPQ have positive effects on CPL while PBP did not. These findings are different from the literature that both PBQ and BBP showed significant influences on CPL. In other words, when it comes to HTC mobile phone, only PBQ could be considered as a mediating variable through which PBG indirectly affects CPL. Generally, this study opens the doors to new empirical studies in the mobile phone industry whereby readers and practitioners would understand the importance of mediator role in consumer purchase intention.

“…This article will go beyond the perspective of statistical moderation and analyze explanatory approaches in sport science to see which person characteristics and environmental features are included in which way in their theoretical assumptions. It will draw on current mediatormoderator frameworks (e.g., [15]) to consider statements on the interplay between exercise, SWB, person characteristics, and environmental features. The analysis will concentrate on examining the theoretical moderation and mediation of the exercise-SWB relation in terms of its content.…”

“…Moderator effects, in contrast, indicate that other intervening variables are influencing the strength or the direction of the relation between exercise and SWB. In recent years, various authors have pointed out that a detailed examination of moderators and mediators shows promising potential for systematizing knowledge and thereby bringing about theoretical progress (e.g., [15,16]). Based on this sketch of the problem, this article focuses on two central questions: (1) What is meant by SWB in sport science research?…”

Research has shown repeatedly that the "feeling better" effect of exercise is far more moderate than generally claimed. Examinations of subgroups in secondary analyses also indicate that numerous further variables influence this relationship. One reason for inconsistencies in this research field is the lack of adequate theoretical analyses. Well-being output variables frequently possess no construct definition, and little attention is paid to moderating and mediating variables. This article integrates the main models in an overview and analyzes how secondary analyses define well-being and which areas of the construct they focus on. It then applies a moderator and/or mediator framework to examine which person and environmental variables can be found in the existing explanatory approaches in sport science and how they specify the influence of these moderating and mediating variables. Results show that the broad understanding of well-being in many secondary analyses makes findings difficult to interpret. Moreover, physiological explanatory approaches focus more on affective changes in well-being, whereas psychological approaches also include cognitive changes. The approaches focus mostly on either physical or psychological person variables and rarely combine the two, as in, for example, the dual-mode model. Whereas environmental variables specifying the treatment more closely (e.g., its intensity) are comparatively frequent, only the social support model formulates variables such as the framework in which exercise is presented. The majority of explanatory approaches use simple moderator and/or mediator models such as the basic mediated (e.g., distraction hypothesis) or multiple mediated (e.g., monoamine hypotheses) model. The discussion draws conclusions for future research.Keywords Well-being . Exercise . Mediation . Moderation . Explanatory approaches Everyday assumptions about the effects of exercise on wellbeing are unanimously positive-as numerous popular science books confirm with promising titles such as The aerobics programs for total well-being [1] or Life skills: 225 ready-to-use health activities for success and well-being [2]. Even in the early years of scientific research in this field, few would have disagreed with the statement that "the 'feeling better' sensation that accompanies regular physical activity is so obvious that it is one of the few universally accepted benefits of exercise" ([3], p. 306). Nonetheless, a host of primary studies carried out between 1960 and the mid-1990s delivered no unequivocal confirmation of this hypothesis. As a result, studies since the 1990s have increasingly been integrated and compared in both narrative (e.g., [4,5]) and meta-analytic reviews (e.g., [6,7]).In contrast to popular science claims, quantitative secondary analyses reveal that the overall effects on (subjective) well-being (SWB) 1 are not only small but also show a great deal of variation. For example, McAuley and Rudolph ([8], p. 68) have written: "Although many studies extol the almost intui...
