“…In the case of the simplest moderated regression equation specifying only a two-way interaction, some researchers directly interpret the degree to which the residually centered interaction term moderates the primary x-y relationship, based on the signed coefficient rule-a comparison of the signs of the coefficients for the x term and the interaction term ( [9]; for applications, see [14][15][16][17]). For instance, a decreasing primary x-y relationship that is lowered further reveals a magnifier effect, but if the primary relationship were increasing, lowering it would instead represent a buffering effect.…”

Multicollinearity constitutes shared variation among predictors that inflates standard errors of regression coefficients. Several years ago, it was proven that the common practice of mean centering in moderated regression cannot alleviate multicollinearity among variables comprising an interaction, but merely masks it. Residual centering (orthogonalizing) is unacceptable because it biases parameters for predictors from which the interaction derives, thus precluding interpretation of moderator effects. I propose and validate residual centering in sequential re-estimations of a moderated regression-sequential residual centering (SRC)-by revealing unbiased multicollinearity conditioning across the interaction and its related terms. Across simulations, SRC reduces variance inflation factors (VIF) regardless of distribution shape or pattern of regression coefficients across predictors. For any predictor, the reduced VIF is used to derive a lower standard error of its regression coefficient. A cancer sample illustrates SRC, which allows unbiased interpretations of symptom clusters. SRC can be applied efficiently to alleviate multicollinearity after data collection and shows promise for advancing synergistic frontiers of research.

“…Secondly, the literature still lacks adequate knowledge about the boundary conditions that could constrain or intensify the effect of employees' functional flexibility on performance outcomes. To date, the study that has analyzed the boundary condition of functional flexibility is that of Martínez-Sánchez et al (2008) , which found that the level of inter-organizational cooperation moderated the effect of employees' functional flexibility on firm innovative performance significantly. McComb et al (2007) also found that project complexity intensified the positive effect of team member flexibility on team effectiveness.…”

“…Specifically, Charoensukmongkol and Pandey (2022b) found that salespeople who exhibited functional flexibility could develop high job performance only when they worked with a management team that also exhibited high flexibility. Martínez-Sánchez et al. (2008) found that inter-organizational cooperation moderated the effect of functional flexibility on innovation performance.…”

“…For example, Charoensukmongkol and Pandey (2021) found that mindfulness significantly increased salespeople's job performance in complex situations. Similarly, Charoensukmongkol and Pandey (2022b) found that the positive effect of functional flexibility on work effectiveness depended on workplace factors and task characteristics (Mart ınez-S anchez et al, 2008). Specifically, Charoensukmongkol and Pandey (2022b) found that salespeople who exhibited functional flexibility could develop high job performance only when they worked with a management team that also exhibited high flexibility.…”

PurposeAlthough the benefits that individuals obtain from trait mindfulness and functional flexibility have been well documented in the research literature, one crucial gap is the lack of evidence clarifying whether trait mindfulness and functional flexibility might benefit all age groups. Using the moderating effect of age among salespeople, this research analyzes the effects of trait mindfulness and functional flexibility regarding sales performance based on the conservation of resource theory.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data were collected from 227 salespeople across 120 companies located in Bangkok, Thailand. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling.FindingsThe analysis shows that the positive effect of trait mindfulness on sales performance is more substantial for older salespeople than their younger counterparts. Although the analysis shows that functional flexibility is positively associated with sales performance, the positive relationship is only supported for younger salespeople. For older salespeople, available flexibility does not positively affect sales performance.Practical implicationsBased on the findings, developing trait mindfulness and functional flexibility in salespeople could be a valuable area of focus for sales organizations' human capital development policies. Although the intervention to develop trait mindfulness could be provided to all salespeople, the functional flexibility enhancement component should be delivered specifically to younger salespeople who may experience more significant gains from the training.Originality/valueThe results address the gap in the existing research that lacked evidence as to whether trait mindfulness and functional flexibility similarly affect the work performance of older and younger people. In particular, this study offers new insight into how age differences influence the benefit of trait mindfulness and functional flexibility across different age groups of individuals.
