Dear Forum, I have - 2 missing values for a nominal dummy-coded variable (0/1) (moderator analysis) - 7 missing values for a categorial variable (age groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) (control variable) - 6 missing values for a categorial variable (hierarchy groups 1, 2, 3, 4) (control variable) I have marked t...

Great! Thank you so much, Dr. Becker!

Thank you for your kind advice. Just to reconfirm if I have understood it correctly: So I would have in the first stage my direct effect model (without the HOCs) but only the LOCs connecting directly with the other constructs. Then I would have to run the PLS algorithm and evaluate the results of th...

Thank you very much for your reply. I want to use in the first stage the repeated indicators approach to obtain the LOC´s scores which will serve in the second stage as manifest variables in the HOC´s measurement model (two-stage approach). Do I need to consider now all the repeated indicators of th...

Dear forum, I have a question regarding the specific level of complexity that means the max. number of arrows pointed at a construct in a PLS path model where HCMs are used (see attachment). If I look at HOC_E (because this is in my opinion the part of the model with the largest number of predictors...

Ok, I see the point, Dr. Becker. I would like to investigate only the first order interactions. Thank you once again for clearifying all my questions. It helped me a lot!

Great, ok, it is much clearer now, Dr. Becker. Thank you very much for your answer. One question remains: You wrote: "You would then include each dummy variable as a single-item construct into your SmartPLS model and create an interaction terms, where the moderator is the single-item construct....

Thank you very much for your advice, Dr. Becker. May I ask you two additional questions in this context? Is there a possibility to do the dummy transformation of the categorial variables in smart pls or first in SPSS and then import the dummy variables into smart pls? Dummy variable 1 would be e.g. ...

Dear forum, I have two questions regarding categorial moderators: 1. I assume that the categorial moderator "occupation" (0=non-working; 1=working) influences only one relationship in my SEM. Can I use the two-stage-approach in this case? Or would a multi-group-analysis appropriate? The pr...

Thank you very much for clearifying my questions!

Dear forum, I have a SEM with 3 HCMs: 2 HCMS of formative-formative type and 1 HCM of reflective-formative type. My questions: 1. Regarding the formative-formative type: Do I have to use a global single item not only for the HOC but also for each of the LOCs for validity purposes? 2. Do the LOCs of ...
