Hi,
When reporting a PLS-SEM model in a study, is it reasonable to first describe a hypothesized model (diagram) and then the actual model, or is this unnecessary? As an alternative, could the model be compared with findings in the literature to describe/discuss a model further?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan
You may want to take a look at published PLS-SEM articles in high ranked journals, especially in your discipline. They may serve you as a blueprint. Here you find some PLS-SEM review studies across different disciplines that would be a good start: https://www.smartpls.com/documentation/ ... w-articles
In my article, I usually start with the theoretical establishment of the model before building/drawing the PLS path model on these foundations.
