Conditional mediation (CoMe) analysis integrates and moderation analyses to examine test hypotheses about how mediated relationships vary as a function of context, boundaries, or individual differences. Although CoMe can be crucial element empirical studies that seek advance theory in information systems, applications such are scarce, general, partial least squares structural equation modeling ...

In most clinical and experimental studies, the standard deviation (SD) and the estimated standard error of the mean (SEM) are used to present the characteristics of sample data and to explain statistical analysis results. However, some authors occasionally muddle the distinctive usage between the SD and SEM in medical literature. Because the process of calculating the SD and SEM includes differ...

Recent years, structural equation modelling (SEM) has become one of the most used multivariate data analysis techniques in information systems (IS) research. Although textbooks and guidelines on the application of SEM have been published, the increasing use of SEM in the domain calls for an updated review of its use within IS research. With this article, we aim to contribute to a more consisten...

This article is intended to serve as a primer for structural equations models for the behavioral researcher. The technique is not mysterious—it is a natural extension of factor analysis and regression. The measurement part of a structural equations model is essentially a confirmatory factor analysis, and the structural part of the model is like a regression but vastly more flexible in the types...
