How to test Common Method Bias using SmartPLS?

[spiking]

Pg 100 of the book says, "Assessment of PLS-SEM outcomes can be extended to to more advanced analyses (e.g.... common method variance).

However, can someone please show us the steps on how to execute this in SmartPLS?

Thank you.

Hi,

Many approaches can be used to test for CMV. Please see the references in the literature PLS.

Hi,

My question is meant for strict use of SmartPLS and no other tools involved.

I ended up using full collinearity test to identify common method bias based on VIF values less than 3.3.

Hi,

AFVIF value is usually used in WarpPLS software. The recommended value < 3.3. If using SmartPLS to detect CMV, can use the Marker variables.

For marker variables, which tool do you use in SmartPLS 3?

I can't seem to find it...

Thank you.

You must create a marker variables. There is no tool in SmartPLS to make it.
