Identifying least influencing item in a construct

Post by bsripirabaa »

Hi
For my research Iam using the Likerts five point scale (Strongly agree to Strongly disagree)
Developed and validated the instrument and applying the same in different organizations to study the HR practices adopted by them
The instrument contains the common HR prcatices and my objective is to identify the practices the organization is practising.
Hence i need to identify in each organization and in each construct the indicator (item) that they are not following / practicing.
How am i to find this using PLS? Which reports would meet my requirements.
Kindly suggest.

Hi Pirabaa,
If I understand you correctly, you want compare the responses (mean or median by organization) in the item level (not in the latent variable level), than for this kind of problem I wouldn’t use PLS, maybe a graph and some tests like Kruskal-Wallis could solve it.
Best regards.
