Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) Using R: A Workbook

This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access.
Offers concise guidelines on how to apply and interpret PLS-SEM results.
Includes an llustrative step-by-step application of PLS-SEM within the R software environment
Draws on the highly user-friendly SEMinR package, co-developed by two of the co-authors.
Adopts a case study approach that focuses on the illustration of relevant analysis steps.
Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has become a standard approach for analyzing complex inter-relationships between observed and latent variables. Researchers appreciate the many advantages of PLS-SEM such as the possibility to estimate very complex models and the method’s flexibility in terms of data requirements and measurement specification.
This practical open access guide provides a step-by-step treatment of the major choices in analyzing PLS path models using R, a free software environment for statistical computing, which runs on Windows, macOS, and UNIX computer platforms. Adopting the R software’s SEMinR package, which brings a friendly syntax to creating and estimating structural equation models, each chapter offers a concise overview of relevant topics and metrics, followed by an in-depth description of a case study. Simple instructions give readers the “how-tos” of using SEMinR to obtain solutions and document their results. Rules of thumb in every chapter provide guidance on best practices in the application and interpretation of PLS-SEM.
