Hi,
I read a number of times that some researchers use the "repeated indicator approach" when forming a second-order construct.
1- Are there other approaches?
2- Can one assign a single indicator (a question) for a construct that the researcher wants it to conceptually reflect the overall quality of a system (which is determined by (have three antecedents), or theoretically composed by the information quality, service quality, and system technical quality)?
For example, to measure this latent variable asking a general question on the perceived overall system quality as if it a higher-order construct? (i.e., asking the respondents to rate their perception (using a Likret scale) on their perception of the goodness of the overall system quality.
Please advise !!
Thanks in advance :)
