(Figure 20.3) indicated acceptance of the model (χ

= 1071.59, df = 763, CFI = 0.929,
GFI = 0.909, RSMEA = 0.056). All path coecients were positive and signicant,
which meant the hypotheses related to downstream QM system were all supported.
The third structural equation model’s (Figure 20.4) t indices indicated that it was
also acceptable (χ
