Second order formative measurement model

Post by saminpls »

Hi Dears,

I want to analyze a model that there are a first and second order formative constructs. Such that, There are 4 formative latent variables and their indexes as first order measurement model and then a general formative latent variable as second order. Indeed, the bigger one has no indicator and is formed by the other 4 formative latent variables.

I would appreciate if you can help on analyzing this model with Smartpls if it is applicable. Otherwise, please let me know that what program is suitable for this purpose.

Best Regards,
Amin.
