Model Paths Significance
When does someone leave a path in the model even if it is not significant? and does any one know of any citations to that effect ?

Re: Model Paths Significance
Such a path does not change your results. I leave it to show that something that I expected cannot be substantiated by the empirical data. Also, this could be a results of full mediation. Take a look at our PLS literature recommendations:

Here you find many studies that report nonsiginificant paths.
