confirmatory factor analysis with SmartPLS2

Post by zahra.M »

Hi
I should do confirmatory factor analysis with SmartPLS for my project.
I have a hypothesis that has 5 Subsidiary hypothesis (model is attached)
there were questions for each of those Subsidiary hypothesis (that are the independent variables) in the questionnaire and I used them as indicators to make the model and run tests in Smart PLS2.
Now how can I test the main hypothesis which had no direct questions in questionnaire?
Looking for help
Thanks

Just run your model with Smartpls 2.0 and evaluate all the indicator for convergent validity as well as reliability. loading factor has to be above 0.70 and Average Varince Extracted has to be above 0.50 regarding the convergent validity. For reliability Composite Realibility has to be above 0.70. Run boostrapping with 1000 numer of sample and the just see the output for path coefficients.
