Marker technique for testing common method bias in SmartPLS
I've looked at other posts on this forum about CMB, but was hoping for a clearer answer about how to use a theoretically unrelated marker factor to detect common method bias in SmartPLS. Here is some background: I have been reading about the marker technique to detect common method bias (e.g. Johnso...

Re: Level of analysis question
I've read more about this issue and wonder whether multi-level or multi-group analysis is necessary for me. My variables are not clearly nested (for multi-level) and I am not sure what categories would make sense (for multi-group). My model includes IVs at different levels of analysis, such as perce...

Re: Level of analysis question
Dear Christian,
Many thanks for your prompt response! I'll consider these options and look at the chapter! I look forward to multi-level analysis becoming available.

Level of analysis question
I am relatively new to SmartPLS and am trying to test a mediated model with a number of independent and dependent variables. Most variables are at the individual level, but some independent variables I would like to include are at the company or country level. Reviewers have raised concerns about do...

Still didn't work
Dear Sarjana, Thanks so much for responding to my query! Unfortunately, I am still having problems with both the txt and csv files. I checked the .csv file, and it has values in either whole numbers or decimals (albeit occasionally in negative decimals, so if that is a problem, it would be helpful t...

Errors validating data file
When I import a .csv file, I get the message "The following errors occurred during validation. Please correct the errors and import the file again. Error 94: The dataset has 134 columns, but there are 135 indicators in total" When looking at previous posts, it was recommended to save the f...

Having the same problem with "workspace" - now fix

Deleting .lock file didn't fix problem; file directory did
I did the suggested fix-it to get rid of the "workspace in use" problem: 1) Open your workspace 2) In your workspace, you find the folder ".metadata"; open this folder 3) Delete the ".lock" file in this folder However, I still have the same problem. I saw another post t...

Workspace in use error message
This is probably a ridiculously simple question, so I apologize in advance, as I'm new to using SmartPLS. When I try to open SmartPLS, the Workspace Launcher pop-up shows up, asking me to "select a workspace" and shows a preselected workspace folder for my files. When I click "ok"...
