VIF inner value for reflective construct

[Suganthi]

Dear All,

For Reflective construct, my inner value shows 1 for all the constructs. Is this acceptable ? I know that it should be less than 5 to show that collinearity is not a cricial issue. I am wondering why does it show as 1 and not as 1.35 , 1.25 or etc in my structural model. If this is not acceptable, how then do I approach this. Any advice is much appreciated.



Thank you.

A value of 1 is certainly acceptable. It implies that there is no collinearity at all.
Why could there be no collinearity?
For example, 1) you have only one predictor, 2) you have orthogonal predictors from an experimental design, etc.
… there could be many more reasons, but those are probably the most likely reasons. In addition, you could increase the number of decimals shown to see whether the VIF is really 1 or maybe 1.0004.

Thank you for the prompt response Dr. Jan.It is much clearer now.

Have a great weekend.
