Hello,
As you see one of my Cranach’s Alpha is low. Please advise me how I can interpret the AVE or composite to cover that. I do not want to show it my paper and use of the following paper. Instead I will perform overall alpha with SPSS and will report it. Please advise me with the related literature for referencing.

Hi,

In PLS and SEM used Composite Reliability, no Cronbach Alpha's.

BTW: I am no arts expert, but to the best of my knowledge "Cranach" refers to two painters in the 15th and 16th century or so :-) What you were refering to is "Cronbach's Alpha".

I don't want to be Mr. Know-It-All, but just in case you are using it in your publication...
