A structural equational model was used to test the hypothesis of the study. The results indicate that FA has positively associate with CEP. The findings support the notion that GF and GI are the mediator between FA and CEP. The results confirm that RC moderates the relationship between FA & CEP. This study provides recommendations for regulators in formulating regulations that align with achievement of the technological goals of the firms.
