Hello Dr. Becker, thanks for the answer. I followed your instructions, and it actually looks like there's a discriminant validity problem. My question now would be how to solve the problem. Should I discard the weakest item from the construct (FC4) and recalculate the PLS algorithm? Or do you remove...

Hello, I am currently investigating some reflective research models with SmartPLS and had a few questions about checking the measurement model, specifically discriminant validity. I would like to know if my Fornell-Larcker criterion is met. I'm not sure about the FC construct because the value on th...

In my work I use the Fornell-Larcker criterion to check the validity of discrimination. However, there are some inconsistencies when it comes to cross-loadings. I have, in fact, noted from some recent publications that cross-loadings are said to be inappropriate for testing discrimination via SmartP...

In this case it is the inner model...thats why I'm actually concerned.

Hello, I am currently investigating some reflective research models with SmartPLS and have encountered a difficulty. In one model, the VIF value for a construct is 6.8 - greater than 5, but in my current work I assumed a VIF limit of 5. At this point, can you recommend what I should do at best? Just...

Hello, I am currently investigating some reflective research models with SmartPLS and had a few questions about checking the measurement model, specifically discriminant validity. I would like to know what to do if my Fornell-Larcker criterion or the cross-loading criterion is not met. If so, do I s...
