Estimados.
Tengo un modelo UTAUT que estoy evaluando con algunos factores (constructos). En algunos items asociados a factores sale la carga factoria negativa. Para tener un buen resultado tengo que invertir el items ( es decir, 5 se cambioa a 1, 4 se cambia a 2, 3 no se cambia, 2 se cambia a 4 y 1 se cambia a 5) o smartPLS lo hace automáticamente ?
Saludos
Julio

Dear.
I have a UTAUT model I'm evaluating some factors (constructs). In some associated items the value iof factor load is negative. To have a good result I have to invest the items (ie 5 is changed 1, 4 is changed to 2, 3 is not changed, 2 is changed to 4 and 1 is changed to 5) or SmartPLS do it automatically?
(like AC1, AE1 in the model attachement)
Cheers
July

Re: Negative Items
To some degree PLS recognises the fact that items are on a reversed scale and gives them a negative weight. However, this can cause instabilities during the algorithm and I would advise the invert the item if you know that it is a reverse-coded item. It will give you more robust results.
However, you should have a content specific explanaition for the inversion and not only do it because of your data results.
