Nonlinear structural equation modeling provides many advantages over analyses based on manifest variables only. Several approaches for the analysis of latent interaction effects have been developed within the last 15 years, including the partial least squares product indicator approach (PLS-PI), the constrained product indicator approach using the LISREL software (LISREL-PI), and the distributi...

The LISREL model, recently developed by Joreskog and his colleagues, is of great importance to students of aging and human development. Essentially, LISREL unites factor analysis and structural equation modeling. It is extremely general, permitting a wide variety of nonrecursive structural equation models while also permitting complex models involving measurement error. Thus, LISREL speaks to t...

This paper did a survey on 162 college students, with an aim to find out the role of consumers’ personality in their trust in the website as far as the online word-of-mouth is concerned. All the data collected are analyzed by SPSS 15.0 and LISREL. It shows that there is a significant difference between the introverted consumers and the extroverted consumers viewing their attitude towards online...

Relationships between justice perceptions and pay satisfaction were examined using Colquitt’s (2001) justice scale and Heneman and Schwab’s (1985) Pay Satisfaction Scale (PSQ). LISREL results from 151 technology professionals show distributive, procedural and informational justice are differentially related to pay level, raises, benefits and structure and administration. Implications for resear...

-The author aims at studying the influence of consumer-generated comments of the shopping sites on consumer trust. The research divides consumer-generated comments into four types: service comments, product and price comments, self-display comments and after-action comments. With the survey result of 166 college students, the author finds that online shoppers’ trust are influenced by consumer-g...

Previous research of inter-organizational relations suggests that they are too complex to grasp in terms of simple, linear effects from independent on dependent variables. Many variables are involved, and most of them influence each other, in circular causality. The central reason for this is that enduring, fruitful relations are based on interaction and mutual dependence. This paper employs th...

Our aim is to shed light on the consequences of KM strategies on firm’s innovation and corporate performance. Organizations are not aware of the real implications that KM may have. Our conclusions, based on an empirical study consisted of 310 Spanish organizations and structural equations modeling with LISREL 8.7, may help academics and managers in designing KM strategic programs in order to ac...
