Multiple Hypothesis

As I have unedrstood having hypothesis is a kind of requirement for any empirically based research in Operations Management to be published in good journal these days. Most of the times the research tests multiple hypothsis. In addition introducing a construct and relashionship between the factors is essential. Just wanted to introduce one method of representing hypothesis with constructs and the relashipships. The picture could be helpful.
