PLS-SEM for Software Engineering Research

Software Engineering (SE) researchers are increasingly paying attention to organizational and human factors. Rather than focusing only on variables that can be directly measured, such as lines of code, SE research studies now also consider unobservable variables, culture trust. To measure latent scholars have adopted Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), which is one member the larger SEM family statistical analysis techniques.
