negative moderation path coefficient showing na in bootsrapping SMART PLS 3?

Post by aasafeer »

Hi,
My moderator has a negative path coefficient, due to this reason, bootstrapping results are not appeared and showing na. What is the solution?
All other results are fine including reliabilities and validities. I have a reflective model and I am using PLSc with a 768 sample size.
Waiting for your response to solve this issue. thank you so much

I think that you should see the settings in the SmartPLS software version 2 player games

Hi, I checked everything is fine and the software is working smoothly except for these results.

The problem is not the negative moderation, but the use of PLSc with a model that does not adhere to the common factor model. Please find some description of the problem here: https://www.smartpls.com/faq/documentat ... s-problems
