Hello,
I am hoping to find out if there is a way to model a moderator on the relationship between two constructs.
My model, when put into SmartPLS does not permit me to add moderators to the relationship, only the variables.
I am not sure this is the way the software/statistical process operates or something different.
Is my model, the circled areas are from the two moderating variables. Should SmartPLS let me add a moderating effect there? SmartPLS lets me add moderating effects to the final construct on the far right only. Is this expected?
Thank you kindly :)

- Real name and title:
Its the same thing -- you are moderating the relationship. There is no such thing as moderating a construct.
SmartPLS shows the path going to the final construct because it creates a moderation-term construct (composed of the product of the antecedent's and moderator's manifest variables) which is then related to the final construct.
does that help?
