Hi PLS experts, I run my model using PLS Predict. I have three main variables in my study. The PLS output in the LV Prediction Summary-PLS table, RMSE and MAE columns indicate positive values for all variables. As for Q2 column, two variables are of positive values while the remaining variable is ne...

Hi Team Smart-PLS, I have few questions that need expert's clarification. 1. I am wondering are there any articles applying PLS approach and at the same time use one-tailed testing in Smart-PLS? 2. Do we normally run path model using Two-tailed testing by default? 3. In the case of testing for moder...

Hi PLS experts, Need advise for the above matter. My structural model consisted of 3 IVs, 1 MV, 1 DV. I have two questions to address: 1. Can I conduct mediation test separately (per IV) to determine the role of MV? 2. When I conducted overall structural model assessment, path MV -> DV not significa...

Dear PLS experts, Which of these tests would be preferable to test for mediation effect? I used both tests and it turned out Sobel test indicates significant with partial mediation whilst VAF result indicates significant but with no mediation. How to explain the contradiction of results between both...

To be more specific, the IVs in my model are referring to one concept, that is, Effective Leadership. All three IVs representing 'Leadership'. For the MV, i used Personality Traits theory, and the DV refers to Governance practices. In summary: IVs = Effective Leadership (comprised of Leader Behavior...

Dear Profs/Drs., I encountered discriminant validity problems in my model in which my HTMT value exceeds 0.90 for most constructs. However, in my HTMT inference the CI was less than 1.0. Some details about my constructs: 3 IVs: 1st IV (2 dimensions, 5 items each); 2nd IV (5 dimensions, 5 items each)...

Hi all,

I'm a newbie in this forum.
Would like to get advices from experts regarding common method bias analysis.
Am I able to conduct this CMB in SmartPLS?
Is it compulsory to do so (in thesis writing)?
