T Statistics Insignificant Instead of being Significant

Post by rehan »

I applied repeated indicator approach for SmartPLS Reflective-formative 2nd order constructs. Everything was fine and variance defined by the lower order constructs was one; however, when I executed bootstrap, the t test and P value which must be significant was showing insignificant value. I used your approach to form first order construct model and executed the bootstrap, the same construct was showing significant value. Could help me sort out the problem.
T Test comparison is shown in the attached files.

These two statistics are with respect effect of Relationship Marketing Orientation (RMO) on Business Performance Effectiveness (BPE)


I will be very grateful to you

Could you please provide some more information:
Which effect should be significant, but is not significant?
Why do you expect the effect to be significant (under which condition is it significant)?
