Note: 𝑁 = 4 9 1 . CFI: comparative fit index; RMSE: root-mean-square error of approximation; CI: confidence interval; SRMR: standardized root-mean-square residual. Full mediation model equals the hypothesized structural model (the best fit model; see Figure 1). The partial mediated model 1 for additional paths from organizational support (OS), information policy (IP), and subjective server response time (SSRT) on strain, the partial mediation model 2 for additional paths from OS, IS, and SSRT on purchase, the partial mediation model 3 for additional paths from OS, IS, and SSRT both on strain and on purchase (i.e., fully recursive model, where every structural path was estimated). The direct effects model 1 for additional paths from usability on strain (i.e., the mediated paths from OS, IS, and SSRT to usability was constrained to zero), the direct effects model 2 for additional paths from usability on strain on purchase, the direct effects model 3 for additional paths from usability on strain both on strain and on purchase.
