moderator variable with formative construct

Post by abrahamsherly »

I want to test the effect of a moderator variable on a formative predictor. Can I use the create moderating effect function in PLS with the moderator variable as the reflective construct and the predictor variable a formative construct. Please advise. Thanks!!

Hi Sherly,
If you have moderation variable is mode B, used Two-Stage Approach with latent score. You cannot creating interaction effect using SmartPLS function (product indicator) OK. Indicator formative not assumption same effect to construct.

Best Regards,
