GAMMA NCA PLS SEM Workshop

Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM): Combined Usage of the Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)
This workshop will contrast the sufficiency and necessity logic and the foundations of a combined PLS-SEM and NCA use. Participants will comprehend the foundations of PLS-SEM, the NCA, and the combined use of both methods. For a case study illustration, we will use the SmartPLS 4 software (Ringle et al., 2022). We provide insights into the logic, assessment, challenges, and benefits of a combined use of PLS-SEM and NCA. More specifically, participants will comprehend the following topics:

• When and how to use the NCA
• Fundamentals of PLS-SEM
• The combined use of PLS-SEM and the NCA
• Reporting and interpreting results, and
• Combined PLS-SEM and NCA applications using the statistical software SmartPLS

This course has been designed for researchers interested in state-of-the-art methods for their studies and publication projects. A basic knowledge of multivariate statistics and SEM techniques is helpful but not required.
