This analysis tests a partial mediation model to understand how a teacher's Altruism and Empathy influence their Work Engagement, both directly and indirectly through the quality of the Teacher-Student Relationship (TSRQ).

Interpretation: The fit indices for the Partial Mediation model are very strong, suggesting it is a plausible representation of the relationships in the data.
H1: Altruism → Work Engagement: SUPPORTED
The analysis found a standardized estimate of 0.218 with a p-value of 0.0079. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, we conclude that this relationship is statistically significant.
H2: Empathy → Work Engagement: NOT SUPPORTED
The analysis found a standardized estimate of 0.102 with a p-value of 0.1657. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, we conclude that this relationship is statistically significant.
H3: Altruism → TSRQ: SUPPORTED
The analysis found a standardized estimate of 0.374 with a p-value of 0.0001. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, we conclude that this relationship is statistically significant.
H4: Empathy → TSRQ: SUPPORTED
The analysis found a standardized estimate of 0.228 with a p-value of 0.0102. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, we conclude that this relationship is statistically significant.
H6: Altruism → TSRQ → Work Engagement (Mediation): SUPPORTED
The analysis found a standardized estimate of 0.337 with a p-value of 0.0010. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, we conclude that this relationship is statistically significant.
H7: Empathy → TSRQ → Work Engagement (Mediation): SUPPORTED
The analysis found a standardized estimate of 0.221 with a p-value of 0.0179. Since the p-value is less than 0.05, we conclude that this relationship is statistically significant.
