Hi Man18, did you run pls twice with different inputs? Because SmartPLS is not able to create 2nd Order Results by running only once. Please see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPeUTKjMF7o and read this article http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0148296312002172. I think ...

Please help me :-( no body can answer me?!

thank you so much for your kind reply well i have to test 2 hypothesis for 2nd order LVs that's my goal. well if i understand and please correct me : srmr can be much better if the outer loading is ok ? the confustion i have is why i found significant outer loading when i run bootstrap but before th...

Please no one can answer me :( i need to know if i am in the wrong way pleaaase

there is no such thing for formative measure there are other rules for assessing.discriminant validity is used only with reflective measure. see this reference may helps you Hair, J. F., Sarstedt, M., Pieper, T. M., & Ringle, C. M. (2012). The use of partial least squares structural equation mod...

Hi, I hope find an answer in this forum unless i'm really disapointed i really need your precious help. I read many papers before asking and still not find a clear answer specially for 2nd order construct. SRMR should be interpreted for both model fit with second order construct measurement and stru...

Hi, I have 2 exogenous formative 2nd order construct and the model is type II (formative-reflective) + 1 endogenous 2nd order relective-reflective my question is about convergent validity (redudancy analysis) for formative 2nd order construct : could we consider the proof of convergent validity of 1...

Ok Dr thank you for your kind reply

You are raising very good questions. The problem is that they are mostly unanswered in the literature. Some researchers started to request these model fit indices for PLS. In my opinion, without a solid knowledgebase on their behavior. As researchers are requesting these features, we (SmartPLS) dec...

Hi professional and creator of smartPLS the best software ever (my point of view), I find some modification in your last release of SmartPLS : the model fit icon : Rms theta, ULS, GLS and Chi-square i just know that srmr should be less than .1 at max but the others indices ? i find for the saturated...

SmartPLS does not know whether your latent variable is a 2nd-order construct or a normal construct. Hence, the AVE of a 2nd-order construct is based on all repeated indicator variables. This AVE should not be used. Instead, as you have mentioned, you should use the path coefficients from the reflec...

Hi every one. I read all the posts here but still confused. I need your help on this please I'm little confused between choosing mediation or moderation or both : i have 2 exogenous variables and 1 dependant & i have 3 hypothesis to test : h1- x1's impact on y (negative) h2-x2's impact on y (neg...

Because the second-order construct will be based on the first-order components it will not be surprising that you will find some strong correlations / regression weights between first and second-order constructs. You need to consider whether it is possible from a theoretical point that your first-o...

Hi every one, I hope i find an answer in your forum because I really have a big problem : I have a second order construct which is multidimentionnal in the theory. up to here all is fine. When it comes to empirical issues I found low positive correlation between the 1st order dimensions which normal...

Thank you Dr for your kind reply. if I understand your idea predictive validity for formative endogenous construct is problematic and q square is unuseful in that case.
