What am I doing wrong?

[banjo]

Hi All,

First, I would like to apologise with my lack of experience with PLS-SEM and I'm still in the process learning using Wong K. K., (2019). I'm currently evaluating validity of the modified UTAUT2 model by Yuan, Ma, Kanthawala, and Peng (2015). I've created the exact model in SmartPLS 3.0 and from my understanding to utilise the same model. I have to

1. gather the same data
2. import the data
3. run smartpls
4. run the bootstrap

I'm confused why the PE's t value is so low after boostraping from my pilot data when a lot of literatures stated that PE is always the most common influential construct.

Thanks for the help!
