Sorry guys..it was my mistake...the way i calculated Q2 in smart pls was wrong...i selected all the variables (exog and endog) on the blindfolding menu mistakenly and it resulted in wrong values...when these values used as inputs for q2 calculation, some of them resulted in negatives...

Dear friends,

I have calculated q2 effect size for every construct but some of the constructs do have a negative q2 effect size. How should i interpret it? what does that mean?

Thank you.

Hi all, I conducted PLS-MGA for two groups and found out that there are no significant differences between path coefficients of the two groups (i used parametric approaches to test the difference)...That means i am not going to reject the null hypothesis. How should i interpret this result? Does thi...

Dear all, I have an observed endogenous variable (i.e. performance as measured by average sales per worker). So i am confused how should i model this observed "Performance"variable. Should it be a formative construct with a single indicator or a reflective construct with a single indicator...

Dear Hengky, Thank you for your reply but for clarity purpose, i have an observed endogenous variable (i.e. performance as measured by average sales per worker). So i am confused how should i model this observed "Performance"variable. Should it be a formative construct with a single indica...

Dear Hengky,

I want to conform whether an observed endogenous variable should be modeled formatively with a single indicator. In Hensler et all 2014 book, he modeled customer satisfaction endogenous variable (cusa) reflectively with a single indicator. Can you please elaborate on this issue?

Hello,

I want to conduct PLS MGA on two groups of different sample size. So should the two models have the same measurement model with the same number of items for each reflective construct? I have only reflective measurement models.

Hello,
can any body tell me how to deal with control variables in smartpls? I have Micro, Small, and Medium enterprises in my data set and i want to control the effect of size in my model.
