Abstract: 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 (example of mediation effect), whether gender predicts a higher perceived social status (example of confounding), and whether job satisfaction increases with age (example of suppression). Consequences for organization and management studies are discussed.
