the aim of this article is to investigate the structural relationship between social influence, motivation and facilitating conditions with the use behaviour of teleworking technology, considering the moderating effect of behavioural intention to utilize teleworking. the research is done according to descriptive method with correlational type. statistical population is public organizations and ...

Partial least squares (PLS) estimation of path models has become very popular in IS research, as an alternative to covariance-based methods. PLS path modeling is often referred to as being useful for “predictive” applications. In this work, we investigate the predictive aspects of PLS path modeling and its relation to predictive analytics and predictive assessment. In particular, we compare it ...

This paper analyzes the conceptual framework of three statistical methods, multiple regression, path analysis, and structural equation models. When establishing research model of the statistical modeling of complex social phenomenon, it is important to know the strengths and limitations of three statistical models. This study explored the character, strength, and limitation of each modeling and...

This proposed tutorial, relating to the topic of quantitative research methods, will demonstrate how to use the basic and more advanced features of PLS-Graph software in the analysis of path-based Structural Equation Models (SEM) using latent variable constructs. Instructions for obtaining the PLS-Graph software (beta version 3 build 1126) will be provided to tutorial participants. PLS-Graph ma...

Previous publications on hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) have provided guidance on how to perform the analysis, yet there is relatively little information on two questions that arise even before analysis: Does HLM apply to one’s data and research question? And if it does apply, how does one choose between HLM and other methods sometimes used in these circumstances, including multiple regress...

Titman and Wessels (1988) have used alternative debt instruments and factor analysis techniques (LISREL approach) to study the theories of optimal capital structure. Dittmar and Thakor (2007) developed a new theory called “managerial investment autonomy” to explain that a firm’s stock price and its capital structure are simultaneously decided. The main purpose of this paper is to integrate the ...
