How to Report Control Variable

Post by AmerSaeed »

Hello Scholars
I am working on a research project by using SmartPLS for the first time. I have used two control variables Size of the company (Used dummy variables for different sizes based upon number of employees range) and Market type (Local, Export oriented or both). Their values are significant and they have increased R square of the DV as well.
My problem is how to report these control variables. As i could not find any reference so far in which control variables has been used while applying PLS approach using SmartPLS.

Waiting guidance regarding how to report Control Variables or by providing any reference.

Regards
Amer

Just in the normal way as you would also report control variables in regressions.
