Reflective-Formative Validity
Posted: Sat Aug 17, 2019 8:09 pm
I have developed reflective-formative construct. I have to check its validity. Initially, at first order, all the weights, factor loadings, AVE are appropriate. When I calculate the second-order by using the latent score and place the latent constructs on second-order formative. They come out to be insignificant. However, the factor loadings are significant for all the latent constructs of second order. Should I retain the insignificant latent second-order constructs? (Hair et al, 2016) suggests retaining the insignificant indicators. Any help will be appreciated.
