Post by jvarchacon »

May I use confirmatory factor analysis before applying partial least squares? is there any literature to support the use of the two approaches in an study?

Many MIS Quarterly articles do this. You find a collection of PLS articles in MISQ here:
Ringle, C. M., Sarstedt, M., & Straub, D. W. 2012. A Critical Look at the Use of PLS-SEM in MIS Quarterly. MIS Quarterly, 36(1): iii-xiv. http://misq.org/skin/frontend/default/m ... sV36N1.pdf
