Hi, in the video there is no mention of redundency analysis i.e to assess convergent validity of 2nd order relective formative construct,if it is not required for 2nd order reflective formative construct kindly provide the references.
Thanks.
Redundancy analysis requires an indicator before questionnaire is floated. There are studies with both Redundancy Analysis and without it. You may consult existing research with Higher Order Factors for reference.
@@researchwithfawad actually I didn't came through any paper which are r relevant to my research topic who have reported redundancy analysis (convergent analysis) of 2nd order reflective formative construct, now the question is if I will go the way previous papers have reported the measurement model of the 2nd order reflective formative construct i.e without mentioning or reporting redundancy analysis, how can we defend this in thesis and in viva.
In case you are doing thesis and haven't yet collected data, add an item to be used for the r redundancy analysis.
If you have collected data, you can out it as limitation plus see any paper that has used HOC but hasn't performed Redundancy Analysis. It can be any paper, doesn't have to be from your area.
Normally you will see many paper not reporting redundancy analysis. If you report other statistics, you will be fine
Thank you dr. for your great work.. its very helpful,
my question is here you didn't report the convergent validity as you did in video 19 of the PLS4 series
do I need to report it or not?
Thanks for watching. In REF-FOR model the validity is reported differently as compared to a REF-REF model.
Hi, Dear, Dr. thank you for helpful video. I have a question please; in case we have Reflective-Reflective-Formative Higher Order Construct (Third-Order Construct Model), how we test the reliability and validity for this kind of model, especially the second one, and which approach we can use? Thank you.
For LOCs it isnthe same. For Ref Ref, it is same using LVS, for REF FOR use outer weights, loadings and VIF values
thank you so much for sharing this lesson. but I have a question. so for my research have 5 independent variables (1 independent is second-stage reflective-formative with 2 dimensions and 4 other independent are one-stage reflective) and 2 dependent variables (both are one stage reflective). so my question is should I separate the analysis for the higher order and first order for the independent var or just include the whole variables? thank you
Pleasure. All variables included. But make sure you do validation at both levels plus use LVS at higher level.
Hello sir, you are my savior! your video is very helpful! I am greatly helped by your very easy to understand explanation, + your lecturing skill is outstanding. Really appreciate it. Keep on doing this! and I hope you are always filled with happiness every day ✨
I have a question sir, why you personally prefer to using disjoint rather than embedded two-stage approach?
(as we know on objective, between the disjoint and embedded it's slightly differ in the model spesification, also for the result it's lead similar reason)
Thanks i am glad you liked it. Both provide same results. It is just that with disjoint the essence of latent variable modelling is still intact.
thanks for replying me Sir (im glad for that),
can you tell me on advanced what mean about essence of latent variable modelling is still intact?
thanks before
@@researchwithfawad
Dear Dr... thank you for your wonderful video. About HTMT for the first order constructs - since we will use the first order constructs to form a second order construct, won't the first order constructs naturally have HTMT issues (especially in a reflective-formative second order con. because the dimensions form the second order construct)? Do we have to test HTMT for first order dimensions that will form the second order construct? Thank you Dr.
Thanks. I am glad you liked it. If the Higher Order is Formative, No.
You will assess its validity through VIF, Weights, and Outer Loadings.
Thank you for the informative video. However, how to run the model if a second-order latent construct has its own direct indicators in addition to the first-order latent constructs?
Thanks for watching. How can it have its indicators? It can have dimensions that can have indicators.
Thanks a lot you help my thesis
It's my pleasure
thanks for this useful video, i think when we asesss the validity of LOC, there is no need to report collinearity because we have reflective items, the assessmnt of the VIF is just necessary in formative indicators, thanks for your videos
Thanks l. I am glad you liked it. Yes you are right.
This is really helpful thank you, prof., I have two questions:
1- Is the process of the Two-Stage Approach the same for Reflective-Formative Higher-Order Construct and Reflective-Reflective Higher Order Construct?
2- Do we need to report a structural model figure for LOC as well?
I am glad you liked it.
Yes, Two Stage is the Same
No, Structural Model for LOCs is not required if you are not testing the relationships are LO level.
Excellent presentation. I would not have it without these clear guidance.. One question. HOC in this example are formative. So why is the step of redundancy analysis skipped here?
Thanks. I am glad you liked it. You can go ahead with validation if the data is not collected prior to data analysis.
Thank you for your informative lessons
I must say I have learnt a whole lot from your channel
Is it possible to have the reporting template you are using in the video?
Thanks
Thanks. I am glad that the channel is helpful. Although, i lost most of the files to a virus, i have uploaded some samples on my website. You can view them on under this link.

Ver much helpful dear
Thanks. I am glad you liked it
Thankyou for your lesson, GBU!
Thanks. I am glad you liked it
@@researchwithfawad Dr Latif, what if all my higher construct already bellow 5 but 1 off my outer loading less than 0.70?
i mean lower than 0.50 (outer loading) its 0.478
This is close to .50, if the outer loading is significant, you keep the formative indicator
@@researchwithfawad Thankyou for your time replying me, hope God always bless you and your family Dr Latif 👏
Professor, in this video you have used standard PLS SEM, however, some research states that reflective constructs must be measured through PLSc.
Can you please elaborate? Is there any reference I can quote to support the use of standard PLS-SEM?
Thanks
You may refer to Primer on PLS SEM by Hair et al or latest book using SEMinR - R Workbook by Hair et al.
Thank you Prof. for such a nice tutorial. I have a question. I am studying the mediation effect of ambidexterity between digitization and innovation performance. Ambidexterity is an interaction of explorative and exploitative learning. I couldn't find a method to produce an interaction term through SmartPLS and straight moderation couldn't be performed that would make it moderated mediation instead of simple mediation. Another method is to make it a higher-order construct.
Could you share a tutorial on how to produce an interaction term through SmartPLS? Or, measuring higher-order construct, would it be the same for a mediating variable? Your tutorial is based on IV.
Thanks for watching. Interaction is for moderation. If you want to create Interaction term you have to do it in SPSS.
Thank you so much, Professor. Your lesson is very helpful.
I have some questions about this video. When you show the outer weights of variables in CSR constructs, the LC has a p-value higher than 0.062. Then, you suggest that we should look into the outer loadings. If the outer loading is higher than 0.5 and significant, then we have no validity issue for higher constructs.
My question is what to do if LC's outer loading is less than 0.5?
Pleasure. Check for significance of outer loadings, if significant keep it.
So helpful ! Thanks :))))
Glad it was helpful!
Dear Professor, I have a question. I have two second order constructs and business performance. When I perform the calculations for the first order should I not include the second order immediately with all the items from the first order constructs ?
First do the first order analysis for both HOCs, then take LVS and perform HOC analysis.
Sir, should we need to check redundancy in higher order construct- which are created with the latent score of low order construct. 2nd I have taken lower order construct on reflective scale but I am confused what should be my high order construct formative or reflective- in second stage of two stage approach
Most of the times HOC should be formative (Ref-for). Since LOCs of HOC are hardly interchangeable.
Sir Personality is a construct. And has five dimensions. Is it right to consider Personality as higher order construct and the dimensions as lower order construct?
Also recommended to see existing papers on personality and see how they have dealt with it.
Thanks for this video. If we have higher-order formative and higher-order reflective constructs in the same model? For the reflective, do we still have to follow the same approach, like connecting its first order to the dependent variables to compute their scores?
Yes, please. The approach remains the same.
Sir kindly make a video where there is reflective - formative HOC for both IV and DV
Thanks for the suggestion. The process remains the same. Please have alook at this video. This may help too.
ruclips.net/video/l4B5g2VyUtw/видео.html
Thank you so much for such nice explanation, and presentation and references, I have a question please; in case we have Reflective-Formative Higher Order Construct with DV? How we can do it with DV?
Thanks. I am glad you liked it. The process for the DV is the same. You will take the LVS for the LOCs and have a HOC and that will serve as DV.
@@researchwithfawad Big Thanks Dr, pls when I found outer loading of 2 indicators (2/4)
Yes, retain them.
@@researchwithfawad BIG Thanks Dr,
Great video Sir and thanks for posting to educate us.
Sir, is it necessary in the second stage i.e. (the model containing HOC) to also report discriminant and convergent validity for structural model? Or is it to be mentioned in first stage only in paper?
Thanks. If the model is HO Formative, the validity is assessed differently as in the video.
thank you, sir, for your video. i do have one question for you. i do have two higher order reflective-formative constructs which are IDV and DV. i do have also a mediating variable which is first-order reflective. so do i need to include this mediating variable in the running the assessment of higher order measurement model even though it is not reported.
Thanks for watching. Yes all constructs shall be included for measurement model assessment.
Sir, I needed to know if we also add control variables, if any, in the first stage of disjoint two stage approach.
Also if we have more than two higher order constructs, is their an easy way to ensure that we have made the right connects between them and not missed out on any?
Thank you
You can do it if you want to assess the inter-relationship at first order.
As for relationships, you need to check that based on your proposed model.
Hello sir, if I'm doing a reflective-formative higher-order construct for moderation analysis, do I have to still connect the IV with the moderating variable?
For moderation you have to connect moderator with DV of the relationship you want to assess moderation in
Hi. Thank you very much for your video.
I have a question, in stage 1, my lecturer asked me why i didnt report the effects between LOCs of the HOC and others LOCs in my model. (ig: the relationship between ECC, LC,… and TI, OP in your example). I really dont know how to explain it.
Thank you in advanced.
Thanks for watching. You may only be interested in assessing the impact of HOC and the LOCs not in between LOCs.
Thank you again for such a useful video. It's really well explained. Now I have a problem and need your opinion. In HOC analysis I get a construct with outer loading 0.245 and p-value 0.009. Can I assume that this is reliable? Jazakallah khair.
Yes you can use the indicator for further analysis.
@@researchwithfawad thank you sir for quick answer
I have a doubt . I have a one 2nd order construct from a recently developed scale . My sample size is 336 after removing outliers (24 questions) . I ran the measurement model all except Fornell and Larcker and HTMT are fine . But in the second stage everything is alright even Fornell and Larcker and HTMT . How do I report this and is there any citations available ?.
Thanks for watching. Improve discriminant validity. Please watch

Hello Dr. Fawad.
I have one question: is it possible to get Outer Loading for the High Order Construct? If possible, how is it done?
Please refer to Outer Loadings in the PLS or Bootstrapping output on the Left in SmartPLS4
Hi sir..thanks for the great video..just a few questions..after run bootstrap, if outer weight and outer loading were not significance..should we remove it? i mean remove the whole item in the construct?
Pleasure. I am glad you liked it. Better to remove the items.
Hi, Dr. If we have gender as the Moderator, and CGPA as the Dependent Variable, should we include them during the Higher-Order Analysis? Thank you much.
Yes, if they are part of hypotheses tests.
@@researchwithfawad Cool, thank you so much!
Aslamalaikum, jazakAllah for your great support and video, can you please tell or show us how to run embedded model
Thanks for watching. For embedded two stage approach, in the second stage use LVS score for all the constructs.
@ResearchWithFawad You mean to say all the items and plz tell where will be the direction of arrows from LOCS to HOC or HOC to LOCS
what about global item.. do we need to check the relationship between formative construct and global item as well
Yes, if you have collected the data on it.
@@researchwithfawadthankyou so much for the response.. but i think it is necessary in formative - formative measurements model . Not in case of reflective -formative... plz.correct me if i am wrong here
Sir, Thank you for helpful video.
I have 3 dimensions of a construct. The Alpha Cronbach are 0.682, 0.624, 0.593. For 2 dimensions HTMT ratio are 0.939 and 0.973. All others quality criteria are good.
What can be done? It’s correct to continue and made a 2nd order construct, or not?
Thanks. I am glad you liked it. Do not move to the next step. Check for cross loadings to solve this issue of Discriminant validity
So, where to validate convergent validity? VIF for kolinearity, significance and relevance from t and p outer weight as sarsted et al. 2019
I also found outer loadings for reflective-reflective and formative-formative. Please help me to understand how to interpret the meaning of it
To understand basic concept of loading, watch

Hello dear how do I get degrees of freedom in smart pls?
Please visit www.smartpls.com/documentation/algorithms-and-techniques/model-fit/
Sir, my construct is formative. But my first objective is to identify factors, where I need to check reliability and validity of construct. For first objective I used Amos for checking reliability and validity because in Amos, we can make single factor model. For second objective, to check impact I used PLS-Sem and again I checked reliability and validity in PLS. But I am not clear for first objective should I go with Amos or report result of PLS Sem
Why do you want to check for Reliability in AMOS. SmartPLS provides all the quality criteria. Please watch other video on PLS on my channel. They will guide on how to assess and report reliability and validity.
Sir, I have a reflective/formative model for my research that includes a control variable. Do I need to include the control variable in both stages? I tested it in the first stage, but it had an insignificant effect, so could you kindly tell me if I should omit the control variable or not if it is insignificant? I'd appreciate it if you could respond as soon as possible because I have a deadline in two days.
You do not need to include it in first stage. As for removing it because it is insignificant, you can report in your paper that the effects were insignificant
Sir, what can I do if my loading and weight of two constructs are not significant. I need to test hypothesis. This is last step when we make higher order construct with latent score
If none of the conditions are met, you should consider deleting the indicators that are causing this issue at the higher level as they are not measuring the construct.
Sir, while using extended indicator approach, at first stage vif value is within limits but in second stage it is above limit. I don't know what should I do
Is it over 5, Some scholars even have suggested
Hi Dr. Latif, thank you very much for your video! However, could you explain further on checking for the convergent validity of HOC? Thank you.
Pleasure. I am glad you liked it. If model is ref-ref, please see this video
ruclips.net/video/iDMXqqf-E2I/видео.html
@@researchwithfawad Hi Dr. Latif, Thank you for your reply. I have a reflective-formative HOC in my model, and I'm not too sure how to assess the convergent validity of my HOC. Would it be the same as assessing formative models? Thank you very much for your attention once again.
Respected sir, my model is a third order reflective formative formative. Kindly advise on how to move further in research. Really looking forward to your advise
Is that construct your IV or DV
@@researchwithfawad sir it is a scale with that third order construct influencing behavioural intention
If it is an IV,you can use the repeated indicators approach.
Hi Sir! I have one item of Outer VIF Value of 5.585, whereas everyone else is below 5. Do i need to fix this before i continue with higher order construct validating? If so, how? Deleting the item? I thought factor loadings and VIF was the same thing? to measure item valdity, or have i missed something? :) Thank you
Hi. Loadings and VIF are totally different. You can keep it as it is not too high. But do check for the other statistics required for validating HOCs.
@@researchwithfawad thanks a lot! The problem I got when I do next part of structural model is that half of my weights and loadings have suddenly minus values. Half of the lower constructs to be specific . But I followed literature suggestions to put certain items in a subscale since they belong together. Is this is a problem and how could I fix it? My thesis is going to be sent in very soon. Thank you Sir
@@researchwithfawad also , how do I do when I have 3 constructs that need to be divided into lower order constructs ? :) will the arrows go from each lower construct to each over every other lower order construct ? I have NEP, AC , AT, that all have lower order constructs . NEP have arrows to AC and AT, but how will that be if all of them are divided into lower constructs . 8 arrows ? Thank you :)
Dear professor, do we not check convergent validity (redundancy analysis) in formative portion here? Please clarify.
Yes we do. But in this case i didnt have a global item.
It means dear professor, we can skip this step.
It can be, if one hasn't thought of it before data collection
@@researchwithfawad Does it mean, two-stage approach is suitable to use even when you don't have global item? Thanks Dr.
Is it possible to share the word file ?
I am afraid, no. The word cannot be shared
@@researchwithfawad oh Jazak Allah
Sir but if you need to test hypotheshave a query regarding testing of hypothesis and reporting I have 2 Higher order constructs in my model Financial inclusion and Women economic empowerment I have used 2 disjoint stage approach I have to test my hypothesis of lower order constructs of FI with Hoc like usage ava access affects women economic empowerment nd main hypothesis as there is no significant relationship bw financial inclusion and Wee how shud I proceed do I need to test twice
If you have HOCs, test your hypotheses only at HOC level.
@@researchwithfawad sir but I've already made lower order hypothesis in my thesis
Like I have financial inclusion and women economic empowerment as my higher order constructs and financialincludion has usage availability affordability ease of access financiL literacy and women economic empowerment as financial stability increses source of income and household economic decision making but I have clubbed lower order wee into one but not lower order Fin incl
If you have hypotheses at both levels then you can assess them at both levels. If you only have them at lower level, then no need for HO analysis
Sir I have at both levels but my query is when I am using latent variable score in 2nd step, I have to make my higher order dependent construct of women economic empowerment having fin stability increase in income and decision making as it's lower order components so vo bnke Hoc Wee bnega but in case of financial inclusion I have taken it's lower order hypothesis so mjhe manifest variables use krne hngy ya single latent variable score se h hypothesis test hgi
If you cannot explain simply, in fact, you do not know it well.
Do i take it as a compliment or criticism
Again you couldn't get the point. You see....? Its so simple. It is a criticism dear.
@@odjembe1626 I respectfully disagree - this video was done well, it is simple, and to the point (as there is a lot to cover here). Fawad was able to show what so many have not been able to before. Do you have a video for this information? Maybe if you posted a video with Reflective/Formative content, we could see what you would prefer for such a video. Fawad - I thank you for this video!!
