How do I model control variables in SmartPLS? Is it similar to doing multi-group analysis? Please help!

Hi,

First, you must give some good reason based on theory, why used control variable? You just connected this variable to endogenous construct to control.
After you ran resampling and see control variables also sig. (you can continue multigroup analysis).
Actually, I not recommend to used control variable, because make the result misleading and always positive suppression.

Regards,
