This study is based on a review of several papers on multiple
regression (with an emphasis on moderated regression) that have
recently been published in the Journal of Management and elsewhere.
Independent contributions from each of these articles suggest six sets
of questions and/or conclusions that might motivate future
researchers in this area, and we call for research which integrates the
questions into unified studies.
