FAC-SEM using PLS-SEM: An empirical illustration in a customer value measurement context
نویسندگان
چکیده
FAC-SEM is a special type of multigroup analysis where the groups are structured as a factorial design. The aim of FAC-SEM is to assess how the path model parameters vary as a function of the dimensions of the underlying factorial design. As such, FAC-SEM offers researchers a unique opportunity to further understand their experimental data. This paper explains how the FAC-SEM methodology can be used in a PLS path modeling context and demonstrates the procedure using empirical data from a customer value measurement study.

Factor-based SEM building on consistent PLS: An information systems illustration
Partial least squares (PLS) methods have desirable characteristics that have led to their extensive use in the field of information systems for path analyses with latent variables. Such variables are typically conceptualized as factors in structural equation modeling (SEM). In spite of their desirable characteristics, PLS methods suffer from a fundamental problem: unlike the classic covariance-...
