about Formative constructs

Post by MsHappyL »

Hello, dear All!
I read in the a lot of articles the information concerning that the researches should use PLS-SEM, if the model contains formative constructs. But, unfortunately, I could not find information why exactly CB SEM cannot analyse formative constructs. It would be highly appreciated if you could give me some explanation about this issue. I would be very grateful for any feedback!

Hi,

Some reason:
1. All software CB-SEM cannot handle formative construct (original develop just for reflective construct)
2. CB-SEM goal for confirmatory research, suitable with classical test theory (just for mode A).
3. Model non-identified if formative construct in CB-SEM.
4. MIMIC model develop in CB-SEM for handle formative construct, but this method have some problem.
5. PLS best approach for handle formative construct.

Dear Hengky,

I would be very grateful, if you could recommend me some article about this topic, because I have to prove my Professor all these statements.

With best regards and once again many thanks,
