Partial least Squares Structural Equation Modeling using SmartPLS Software

Introduction

In recent years, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has gained considerable attention across a number of disciplines, including marketing, strategic management, human resource management, behavioral finance, etc. When Maximum Likelihood-based procedures (such as AMOS) do not fulfill the assumptions, partial least squares path modeling (PLS) can provide a suitable solution. As opposed to theory testing via covariance-based SEM (CB-SEM), PLS-SEM aims to explain variance (prediction-oriented character of the methodology). Furthermore, the PLS-SEM method allows for the unlimited incorporation of latent variables into the path model, which can be either reflective or formative.

Objective

The purpose of this course is to contribute to theory by establishing a useful PLS path model, to provide a methodological introduction to the PLS-SEM approach, and to demonstrate how measurements and structural models are applied.

Contents

  • Basics of Structural Equation Modeling
  • Fundamentals of PLS-SEM: Difference Between Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling.
  • Reflective vs Formative Construct.
  • Univariate and Multivariate Normality
  • Measurement Model Assessment (Convergent & Discriminant Validity) and Common Method Biasness.
  • Explanatory and Predictive Relevance, Blindfolding and PLS Predict
  • Structural Model Assessment (Path Analysis, Interaction Effect, and Bootstrapping Technique)
  • Mediation, Moderation and Multi-group analysis in PLS-SEM
  • Higher-order construct in Smart PLS
  • Important Performance analysis (IPMA) and Confirmatory Tetrad Analysis (CTA)

Certificate

After completion of the faculty development program, an e-certificate will be provided to participants.
