NEED FOR FIMIX PLS TEST

[wangitarhero]

I have performed a heterogeneity test in PLS-MGA among male and female for IS acceptance but found insignificant results. My question is, do I still need to conduct FIMIX PLS or just ignore FIMIX test? Which recent articles that might support my heterogeneity test? Thank you.

PLS-MGA is merly able to capture observed heterogeneity, i.e., group variables that are already known and which might explain differences in the path coefficients by already existing theory. FIMIX-PLS accounts for unobserved heterogeneity. Thus you should also apply methods such as FIMIX-PLS or PLS-POS that are able to reveal unobserved heterogeneity.

Best wishes
