My supervisor doesn't know any thing about PLS and he is usually asking me different questions about it.
At the end of my research he raised some questions. I answered him but he wants some references to prove that.
His concerns about new_6, new_7, and new_8 constructs.
In the survey I categorized the indicators to different sections for each above constructs.
For example new_6 has three indicators sections. Actually I can add three sub constructs to new_6 but the survey size will be big.
after analysis I removed some weak indicators based on PLS authors recommendations , so at the end I got one indicator for some section.
Now, he said you should have more than one indicator for each section.
I replied , i am testing the construct new_6 and I don't have sub constructs points to it , also the sections just a survey categorizing.
But he does not agree. Moreover, he said the construct new_8 has indicators more than new_6 and new_7 which is not ok.
In fact I don't know if his points are valid or no.
Please provide me your answers with references. I don't want to rewrite my research after 4 years of PhD study.
