Moderating effect using PLS-MGA

Post by Choukri »

Hi everyone,

Please I need your help

My model includs X as an independent varable, and Y as a dependent variabl, while CI ; VS and RP are continuous moderating variables. And I want to add a categorical moderating variable, i.e Gendre (Female and male). (PLS-MGA)

Is this way correct to assess moderating effects.

If it is, which method should I use to examine these effects

Greetings

Sure, why not. However, I usually analyze one moderator at a time if I like to focus on a single path. If all paths are interesting, I conduct multi-group analyses.

...................Multi-group and moderator analysis at the same time. I have never seen such a PLS-SEM analysis...

What should I do?
