Abstract:

Structural equation modeling via partial least squares (PLS-SEM) is the preferred approach when a research model includes formative measurement models. In this paper, the validity assessment of first-order and higher-order measurement models is illustrated using real data employing the WarpPLS, a prominent software tool for PLS-SEM.
