Reliability and Validity for Multi Group Analysis

[ilovedu2000]

Dear professors and professionals

I know that SmartPLS 3.0 provides MGA functions. And it is very easy and usaufull.

The procedure of analysis using SmartPLS requires reliability test and validity test. Therefore we should provide result of reliability test and validity test.


There is a research model

Money -----------------------> Happy
|
|
Gender

Money is exogenous latent variable
Happy is endogenous latent variable
Gender is moderation variable



In this case, should I provide reliability & validity test result for full sample and each male and female sample? Or just providing full sample result is good for it?

The most of research papers I read provide not reliability & validity test result for sub sample but reliability & validity test result for full sample .


In conclusion, I would like to know that when I run the MGA, it is necessary reliability & validity test for sub sample??

Thanks

Given that you have measurement invariance it is okay to just report the reliability and validity criteria for the combined sample.

Thank you very much professor jmbecker!!


And,,, how can I know that whether my research model has measurement invariance or not ??

Have a look at the following references:
Henseler, J., C. M. Ringle, C.M. and M. Sarstedt (2016). Examining the measurement invariance of composite models using variance-based structural equation modeling. International Marketing Review, 33(3), 405-431.
Schlägel, C. and M. Sarstedt (2016). Assessing the measurement invariance of the four-dimensional cultural intelligence scale across countries: A composite model approach, European Management Journal, 34(6), 633–649.

SmartPLS 3 provides the nessesary information within the permutation approach.
