Beta coefficient

[cynthia]

hey, I would like to know if the beta coefficient corresponds to the path coefficients? If not, where can I find this coefficient in Smartpls?

Thanks for your answers.

Yes
it is a standardized regression coefficient.

My understanding is that to calculate Beta (the standardised regression coefficient) you multiply the t-value and the SD given in the PLS print out.

This seems to be a better way of proceeding than using SPSS and multiple regression, which automatically calculates Beta, BUT generally a different t-value to that given by PLS. For internal consistency, do the simple calculation, using the t-value and SD from the bootstrapping process, in order to calculate Beta.
