In boot strap, some arrows are to indicate negative values, for eg, environmental uncertainity is to negatively influence organisational effectiveness. In smart PLS I get all values as positive, while in visualPLS I am getting both positive and negative values appropriately. Do I need to apply any settings in bootstrap to get appropriate signs in the t-coefficients?

There are no special settings required in SmartPLS, you always get the correct and appropriate t-values. It should be clear to you that the sign of the t-value does not matter.

SIGN OF T-VALUES IN BOOTSTRAP
Thanks, but when we indicate a hypothesis, we need to specify if the relation ship is positive or negative. How do we decide that, if t-values do not have a sign? I understand that the absolute value is to be more than tha cutoff value, say 1.645 (+ or -). Is there any way of proving the nature of the influence?

Dear Vivek,
you use the bootstrapping procedure in PLS to test whether a path coefficient is significantly different from zero. So, if the t-value is higher than your cut-off criterion this is fine and depending on the hypothesized nature of your relationship you get the required evidence. This should be fine and from a statical point of view sufficiently correct. However, we may keep this in mind for the next version...
Cheers

sign of relationship
Thanks, that means we need to look at the coefficient sign , or the construct correlation sign in the ordinary solution to conclude the nature of the relationship, Is it not?

Re: SIGN OF T-VALUES IN BOOTSTRAP
Hello community,
Is this in any case similar to getting a t-value of 1.778 (which is more than 1.645) and p-value of 0.077 , returning a non significant value??...can i use the explanation of 95% confidence level to explain this sufficiently??

Re: SIGN OF T-VALUES IN BOOTSTRAP
The t-value threshold for 5% alpha level (or 95% confidence interval) would be 1.96 for a two sided test and 1.645 for a one-sided test. The p-value you are reporting seems to be calculated based on a two-sided test. For a two-sided test the 1.645 t value represents the 10% error level (or 90% confidence interval).
