The application of a structural equation modeling (SEM) assumes that all data follow only one model. This assumption may be inaccurate in certain cases because individuals tend to differ their responses, and failure consider heterogeneity threaten the validity SEM results. study focuses on unobservable heterogeneity, where difference between two or more sets does not depend observable character...

Voluminous studies use Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze data. One of the reasons for using PLS-SEM is when structural model complex. Studies employing complex models with many constructs and indicators lead selection analysis. The purposes assessing measurement are examine basic dimensions construct variables, validate dimensions, determine number each con...

Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is an essential element of marketing researchers' methodological toolbox. During the last decade, PLS-SEM field has undergone massive developments, raising question whether method's users are following most recent best practice guidelines. Extending prior research in field, this paper presents results a new analysis use research, focu...

Research in international business and management (IM) is highly complex, contextual, spans various subfields related theoretical lenses. These characteristics pose research challenges that require utilizing sophisticated designs methodologies. This paper our focused issue on ‘The use of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) complementary methods IM research’ further clar...

This study investigated the relationship between main dimensions in the strategy-making process, environmental complexity, and performance in pharmaceutical companies of Iran. Results argue that pharmaceutical companies like other industries place differing emphasis on strategy-making and employ different modes of strategy-making. It offers a typology of different modes of strategy-making that ...

We propose a framework to handle lack of fit problems in structural equation models by analyzing misspecified moments. This framework allows to relate misspecification of the moment equations to biases of parameter estimates and non-centrality of the model. Misspecification of a single moment is shown to lead to misfit of all moments as well as biases in most parameter estimates in full informa...

What is the weak instruments (WI) problem and what causes it? Universal agreement does not exist on these questions. We define weak instruments by two features: (1) 2SLS is badly biased toward the OLS estimate and alternative “unbiased” estimators such as LIML may not solve the problem and (2) the standard (first order) asymptotic distribution does not give an accurate framework for inference. ...

Tasks employing parametric variation in movement rate are associated with predictable modulations in neural activity and provide a convenient context for developing new techniques for system identification. Using a multistage approach, we explored the functional and effective connectivity of a visuomotor control system by combining generalized partial least squares (gPLS) with subsequent struct...
