Data Analysis (hrm-data-analysis)

When to trigger

• You have nested data (employees in units/firms) and need the right multilevel model
• A mediation/moderation hypothesis needs a defensible test (not just a significant indirect effect)
• A measurement model (CFA) must establish discriminant validity before structural tests
• A reviewer challenges the aggregation, the estimator, or asks for robustness
• Qualitative data need a transparent, auditable coding and trustworthiness account

Match the estimator to the data structure
