Hi Lyudmil,

No, for communality average all construct in model (exogenous + endogenous), only R-squares for endogenous (because exogenous R-squares = 0), OK.

Communality / AVE must higher than 0.5, your result above some construct < 0.5, so not acceptable (check outer loading indicators and compute GoF again)

Best Regards,
Hengky

Thank you so much, Hengky!

Hi, Hengky.

You say that:

In which book, can I find that?

What if the values are less than 0.6 or 0.7 - should I remove the items with loadings lower than these values and test again what GoF will be?

Thanks,

Lyudmil

Hi,

Yes right.

Some of your constructs have AVE of less than .5. The AVE will be improved if the indicator reliability (or outer loading) is .7 or higher. Just look at the outer loading for each item- it should be .7 or higher.
