Consistent Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling Using SmartPLS
This Teacher’s Corner article provides a comprehensive illustration of consistent partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLSc-SEM), a variant of the original PLS-SEM method, which corrects construct correlations for attenuation. The method thereby allows estimating common factor models within a composite-based SEM framework. Our descriptions draw on SmartPLS 4, the most frequently used software for conducting PLS-SEM analyses, illust…
Does image fit matter to residents’ attitudes and intentions toward sports events and host communities
This study examines how perceived image fit between a recurring community sports event and its host community influences residents’ attitudes and behavioral intentions, with particular attention to the differentiated roles of attachment and quality of life. Grounded in schema theory, the study conceptualizes image fit as a cognitive mechanism shaping residents’ evaluations of both the place and the event. Data were collected from 259 local reside…
An Assessment of the Use of Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling ( PLS ‐ SEM ) in Educational Leadership and Management Research
Structural equation modelling (SEM) has become a widely used method across various disciplines including educational leadership and management (EDLM). Although researchers in many disciplines have conducted reviews regarding the use of PLS‐SEM, its application in EDLM has not yet been reviewed comprehensively. To address this gap, the authors reviewed 62 articles applying PLS‐SEM published in leading EDLM journals over the past few decades. This …

From screen to scene
The landscape of travel information dissemination has evolved, with short travel video (STV) content now taking centre stage. While existing studies have explored the role of STVs in promoting destinations, there is still a need to pinpoint which elements of this marketing approach resonate most strongly with audiences. Our research, grounded in the S-O-R framework and flow theory, examines how technological, destination-related, and individual f…
A destination performance measurement framework
Measuring the success of tourism destinations is vital to policymakers, destination managers, researchers, and businesses.However, the processes and metrics vary considerably across academia, tourism organizations, and governments since destination performance is multidimensional and multi-stakeholder.The primary aim of this research was to develop a destination performance measurement framework.Survey data were obtained from 403 domestic tourist…

Working with robots
Robots are taking on a prominent role in driving organizational evolution toward industrial revolutions. While research on the role of robots in human resource management (robot-HRM) is proliferating, the literature falls short in providing a state-of-the-art overview of the progress and ways forward for the field. Hence, this study aims to review and consolidate the extant literature on robot-HRM into a unified framework and provide pragmatic wa…

Modelling generation Z tourists' social responsibility toward environmentally responsible behaviour
Generation Z (Gen Z) is believed to be more socially and environmentally committed. While environmentally responsible behaviour is crucial to the success of sustainable tourism, little is known about Gen Z's specific environmental behaviours in tourism settings. In this research, the roles of Gen Z's consumption emotions and environmentally friendly behaviour were explored based on cognitive appraisal and elaborated intrusion theories. The modera…
Reinvestigating repurchase intentions for travel apps
The intense competition amongst travel apps, regardless of their popularity, has made repurchase intention a critical financial challenge for travel providers. By combining the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework and the New Economic Geography (NEG) theory, this research examined how city tier disparities influence the experiential features of travel apps and user repurchase intentions. Survey data was acquired from 739 travel app users …

This research addresses this gap by employing the stimuli-organism-response (SOR) model to…
PLS-SEM’s most wanted guidance
Purpose Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has attracted much attention from both methodological and applied researchers in various disciplines – also in hospitality management research. As PLS-SEM is relatively new compared to other multivariate analysis techniques, there are still numerous open questions and uncertainties in its application. This study aims to address this important issue by offering guidance regarding…
Multigroup analysis of more than two groups in PLS-SEM
Multigroup analysis (MGA) in partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has grown considerably in the past few years in many different research fields, particularly in the business area. However, a close examination of MGA in PLS-SEM articles revealed much less research that compared more than two groups. Furthermore, research applying MGA in PLS-SEM with more than two groups has several constraints. For instance, most researche…
The impact of perceived risk of online takeout packaging and the moderating role of educational level
With the rapid development of e-commerce and the impact of COVID-19, online takeout has become the first choice of more and more consumers. Previous research has indicated that food packaging is of great significance to marketing performance, yet very little is known about the mechanisms through which food packaging pollution risk affects online takeout consumption. This study proposes an expanded model of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) by …

Medical Tourism Destination Image and its Relationship with the Intention to Revisit
Medical tourism in Malaysia has grown over the years and has become a promising industry. However, due to the establishment of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), we see a spill-over effect where more Chinese people visit and seek medical treatments in Malaysia. Attracting these Chinese medical tourists has become a great competition as Malaysia is not the sole player in the South East Asia region. The objective of this study is to examine th…

Convergent validity assessment of formatively measured constructs in PLS-SEM
Purpose Researchers often use partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to estimate path models that include formatively specified constructs. Their validation requires running a redundancy analysis, which tests whether the formatively measured construct is highly correlated with an alternative measure of the same construct. Extending prior knowledge in the field, this paper aims to examine the conditions favoring the use of si…
How to Specify, Estimate, and Validate Higher-Order Constructs in PLS-SEM
Higher-order constructs, which facilitate modeling a construct on a more abstract higher-level dimension and its more concrete lower-order subdimensions, have become an increasingly visible trend in applications of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Unfortunately, researchers frequently confuse the specification, estimation, and validation of higher-order constructs, for example, when it comes to assessing their reliabi…

Demystifying the role of causal-predictive modeling using partial least squares structural equation modeling in information systems research
Purpose Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has become popular in the information systems (IS) field for modeling structural relationships between latent variables as measured by manifest variables. However, while researchers using PLS-SEM routinely stress the causal-predictive nature of their analyses, the model evaluation assessment relies exclusively on criteria designed to assess the path model's explanatory power. To…
