PROCESS
Hello I am conducting a moderated-mediation model, and part of the analysis is to examine the indirect effect at various levels of the moderator. PROCESS in SmartPLS 4 reports the conditional indirect effect, but only at + 1 and 0 values. My questions are: 1- Can I get the indirect effect at -1 valu...

Moderation analysis in PLS (SmartPLS4):
Hello, I have a few comments and questions related to moderation analysis in PLS (SmartPLS4). 1- There is a recommendation (in the PLS literature (Becker et al, 2023) and the general moderation literature (e.g., Dawson, 2014)) that researchers should always interpret the unstandardized coefficient f...

Re: PLS Algorithm vs PLSc Algorithm LVscores issue
Hello, Many thanks for discussing this important topic. As PLS estimates composites, which themselves, according to a group of researchers, can be reflective or formative [see Sarstedt et al (2016)], does the factor indeterminacy issue exist for reflective composites? Another group of PLS researcher...

Re: COMPOSITES vs COMMON FACTORS, MICOM?
Hi All,
Please read the following paper, which I found to be very helpful:
Sarstedt, M., Hair, J. F., Ringle, C. M., Thiele, K. O., & Gudergan, S. P. (2016). Estimation issues with PLS and CBSEM: Where the bias lies!. Journal of Business Research, 69(10), 3998-4010.

Hayes index of moderated mediation
Hello, I have one question about testing moderated mediation analysis using Hayes (2015) index. The 2nd edition of Hair et al. PLS book recommended this method when testing moderated mediation relationships. However, they did not provide clear guidelines on how to do this in PLS. I was wondering wha...

Re: Mixed higher order constructs
Dear Prof. Ringle, Many thanks for your response. 2. The formative second order construct (note: this construct consists of both reflective and formative first order constructs). @2: I never used mixed models and there is no standard solution; Mode A I understand that Mode A might be suitable for my...

The two stage approach (single-item first order constructs)
Dear All, I have one question related to using the two stage approach to estimate a second order construct. I have a second order exogenous formative construct that have 6 first order constructs. Two first order constructs are formative and one is reflective. The remaining three first order construc...

Re: Mixed higher order constructs
Dear MJ, Many thanks for your response. I agree with you that there is no definitive answer. Based on my reading, I would advise using the two-stage estimation approach for both situations (i.e., formative-formative, and mixed higher order constructs). For the first stage, I would use Mode A for for...

Re: New rules for keeping formative indicators
Dear Dr. Becker, Many thanks for your valuable answers and responses. Let me clarify my question. 1. There are many examples in the literature who assessed the influence of each of the formative indicators on the final endogenous construct by multiplying the formative item weight (e.g., PC1 weight) ...

Re: What about new developed constructs in PLS?
Dear Dr. Becker, Many thanks for your valuable answers. I really appreciate your assistance. All answers were very clear. However, I did not grasp the idea behind your question your final point: How, do you know that your construct is not multi-dimensional? Strong theory and face-validity. Those are...
