Hello there, I'd appreciate if you can kindly help me with the following issue. I have a model which looks like Y is a function of X1 and X2. Also, I expect X3 to serve as a moderator on both X1->Y and X2->Y. I can set up moderation in SmartPLS to test the effect of X3 on X1->Y and the effect of X3 ...

i guess those are standardized latent scores.

how to transform them back to the actual latent scores (i.e., positive values that fall between 1 and 5 for survey questions that use a 5 Likert scale)?

Guys, need help to find these values. In V2.0. these info is readily available in a report. In V3.0, I find a tab of "Latent Variables" in the PLS report. However, scores are not what i expected (say, a construct shall have a mean score of any value between 1 and 5, in a survey that uses a...

In testing a model with reflective constructs only, i noticed that the values of the indicators of some constructs will change dramatically (e.g., .8->.4 or even from positive to negative such as .7->-.1), when i change the way how other constructs relate to these strange constructs. Say, if i add a...

Like the title suggests, now i have negative rho_a value for some reflective constructs when they have excellent (>.8) Cronbach's alpha and Composite Reliability scores. New to smartpls 3. Anyone can help me understand this? More importantly, what shall i do to move my analysis forward? pls help. th...

Hello Hengkov, Thank you for your response. Quote from Ringle et al., A Critical Look at the Use of PLS-SEM in MIS Quarterly, MIS Quarterly, 36 (1), pp. iii-xiv, 2012 : "In this kind of situation (a reflective-formative model; a formative construct consists of several reflective constructs; thi...

Hello there, Hope someone can help me with the following question. I have a reflective-formative model where several reflective latent constructs, such as B, C, and D, affect a formative construct A, which consists of A1, A2, and A3 which are latent reflective variables. Given the fact that this for...

Thank you for your help!

Thanks alot!

thanks Chris, this is really interesting.

as to Q2, i checked a number of publications on ISR and MISQ and only few of them mentioned the use of standardization. Having said that, it could be true that they all did standardization since they explicitedly sited Chin-isr paper. So, you'd better do it.
