Dear Prof. Ringle,

many thanks for your reply.

Dear PLS-Team, In their recent article "A new criterion for assessing discriminant validity in variance-based structural equation modeling" (Henseler/Ringle/Sarstedt, 2015: 131) state: Prior literature gives practically no recommendations on how to assess the discriminant validity of forma...

The book on PLS-SEM includes a chapter on (multiple) mediation: Hair, J. F., Hult, G. T. M., Ringle, C. M., & Sarstedt, M. (2017). A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. 2nd Ed. Thousand Oaks: Sage. https://us.sagepub.com/sites/default/files/styles/sage_thumbnail_width_...

To compare importance in absolute terms to the positive importances you may just switch the sign, but have to be careful with the interpretation and conclusions. I am not sure what you mean by the above. In case I have a negative importance value (e.g. -0.3) I just use the value 0.3 for interpretat...

Dear Prof. Becker,

Thanks for your reply.

Dear Prof. Becker, To me negative importance of an exogenous LV (e.g. -0.35) indicates that a one point increase in the performance of the LV leads to a decrease in the endogenous LV's performance by -0.35. But what exactly does this mean for related management activities? Do not invest in such acti...

Dear All, My PLS-model includes 4 formative exogenous LVs and three reflective endogenous LVs. Following the recommendations of Becker et al. (2013): Discovering Unobserved Heterogeneity in Structural Equation Models to Advert Validity Threats. MIS Quarterley, 37(3): 665-694, I applied PLS-POS to te...

Hi,

Just to give you a quick reply, JAMS (= Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science) where you can find the article on HTMT (http://link.springer.com/article/10.100 ... 014-0403-8)

Thank you for your reply.

Dear Mr. Ringle,

Thank you for your reply. Do you have any recommendations on how to report HTMT in a PhD thesis. Shall I include just the results (e.g. HTMT matrix and confidence intervalls) or also the inter-item correlation matrix?

Best regards,

Dear All, In my model I have four reflective constructs (including one moderator variable) plus four formative constructs, where the reflective constructs are the dependent variables (DV) respectively moderator variables (MV) and the formative are the independent variables. The assessment of discrim...

Dear All, In my basic model I have 3 endogenous latent variables (DV_1, DV_2 and DV_3) and 4 exogenous latent variables each measured by 5 indicators (IV_1, IV_2, IV_3 and IV_4). Reflective measurement models have been chosen for the DV’s and formative for the IV’s. IV_2 indicators are 5 multiplicat...

Dear All,

I was just wondering whether you are using R2 or the corrected R2 for the calculation of VIF values shown in the output of smartpls 3.0.

Many thanks in advance for your reply.

Dear All,

I followed all the instructions given in other sections of this forum. However, smartpls still does not run on my macbook Air.

Is there nobody how can give advice on how to get smartpls running on mac. I urgently need your support!
