Validating Formative Partial Least Squares (PLS) Models: Methodological Review and Empirical Illustration
The issue of formative constructs, as opposed to the more frequently used reflective ones, has recently gained momentum among IS and Management researchers. Most researchers maintain that formative constructs have been understudied, and that there is paucity in methodological literature to guide researchers on how such constructs should be developed and estimated. A survey of IS research has re...
متن کاملDesigning a Commercialization Model for Research Achievements at a Military University Research Institute by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling
Background and Aim: Today, in universities and research institutes, the lack of attention to commercialization makes it impossible or difficult to enter the markets for technology and research products. therefore, this study aims to design a commercialization model for research achievements of a military research institute. Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was done in a cross-sectional ...

متن کاملThe Use of PLS When Analyzing Formative Constructs: Theoretical Analysis and Results From Simulations
Partial Least Squares (PLS) has become an increasingly popular approach to testing research models with multiple proposed causality links. Moreover, recent interest in the specification of constructs in a formative manner has accentuated this tendency, given the purported ability of PLS to handle this methodological development. While a review of the literature reveals an extensive use of PLS i...
متن کاملPredictive Validity and Formative Measurement in Structural Equation Modeling: Embracing Practical Relevance
Composite-based methods like partial least squares (PLS) path modeling have an advantage over factor-based methods (like CB-SEM) because they yield determinate predictions, while factor-based methods’ prediction is constrained in this regard by factor indeterminacy. To maximize practical relevance, research findings should extend beyond the study’s own data. We explain how PLS practices, derivi...
