Difference between MICOM and MGA results
Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2023 2:44 am
Dear all,
I am conducting MGA analysis by SmartPLS. I got the results of MICOM of the relationship between latent variable A and latent variable B are equal mean value and equal variance among two groups-> Full measurement Invariance of relationship between latent variable A and latent variable B among two groups.
However, when I conduct the MGA, the difference between path coefficients ( relationship between latent variable A and latent variable B) is significant.
Due to my understanding, if the relationship between latent variable A and latent variable B among two groups has Full measurement Invariance -> no difference between path coefficients ( relationship between latent variable A and latent variable B). Would it be true?
I am a little confused by this.
I would like to thank you for any explanation,
H.
