Yes, I found a solution.
To compute the statistical significance of the LV correlations, you should copy and paste the PLS "Standardized Latent Variables Scores" to a software like SPSS and compute the pearson correlation coefficients.
Hope it helps

Dear Jan-Michael,
thank you very much for your nice suggestion, you are perfectly right, reporting the decriptive statistics based on average scores is definitely misleading.

Hello. I have a problem with calculating the p-values for the t-statistics of my path-coefficients. I know I should refer to the tabled t-distribution, but what about the degrees of freedom? Shouldn't I know how many degrees of freedom I have in order to compute the critical values for the t-distrib...
