Path coefficients > 1 HELP
Posted: Wed Jul 18, 2018 3:40 pm
Hello,
I am a new user of PLS Equations Modelling. I have an existing model :
* 1 second order formative variable "CO-CREAT F." made of 2 first order formative variables "COPROD F" / "VALUE IN USE F."
* each of the first or second order formative variable is reflected in 3 reflective indicators CO-CREAT R. / VALUE IN USE R. / COPRODU R.)
* 3 reflective dependant variables (Valeur clients, Perf., Satisfact.)
I would like to calculate direct vs indirect effects, and for this I try to add direct links between first order formative variables and the 3 dependent variables.
The problem is : when I am adding those links, this leads to some coefficients becoming superior to 1, for instance 1.356 or -1.125. This is not normal, as path coefficients should be standardized figures.
Can you help me ?
