Second Order Formative (Endogenous)

Post by rashidzamantanoli »

Hi all,
I have questions regarding the second order formative endogenous variables. My study model consist of both constructs i.e. reflective (exogenous)-formative (second order endogenous). I used repeated indicator approach for analysis in SEM PLS. Now I want to report the result of outer weights, outer loading, t and p statistics for formative construct. Should I report said results after first order analysis or should I perform second order analysis and then report the said results for formative analysis ?

Use relationships between the lower-order constructs and the higher-order construct for your "measurement model" assessment.

Kind regards
