Hello everybody,
I need to test a moderated mediation model using SmartPLS for my master's thesis.
I have an independent variable X (a leadership style), a mediator M (a communication style of the leader), a moderator Z (a value orientation of the follower) and a dependent variable Y (the affective commitment of the follower). In my model, the moderator Z is supposed to moderate the path between M and Y (Model 3 in Preacher, Rucker & Hayes, 2007).
Can anybody help and tell me how I can test for moderated mediation in this case with SmartPLS?
Which steps do I need to take or which conditions need to be fulfilled?
Thanks very much for your help in advance!
Regards,
Sandra
