| Summary: | The article’s aim is to explain the third variable effects in management studies –mediation, suppression,
and confounding. Examples of these three types of the third variable effects are based on the European
Social Survey (2012) data. It is analyzed whether organizational power is directly related to job satisfaction

confounding), and whether job satisfaction increases with age (example of suppression). Consequences
for organization and management studies are discussed. |
