Results The model fit for the final Structural Equation Model (SEM) provided an acceptable fit, [2(28)=105.88,p<.001, RMSEA,= .07,CFI=.95, SRMR =.05]. Path analysis revealed sociocultural pressures to diet increased concurrent body dissatisfaction (=.70;p<0.05) and DE at T1 (=.56;p<.05). Internalisation of the thin-ideal and negative appearance comparisons partially mediated the effect of socio...

With growing interest in KM-related assessments and calls for rigorous assessment tools, the objective of this study was to apply SEM techniques to refine and cross-validate the KMI, a metric to assess the degree to which organizations are engaged in knowledge management (KM). Unlike previous KM metrics research that has focused on scales, we modeled the KMI as a formative latent variable, ther...
