Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine whether coping efforts and social support mediate the long-term sequelae of child maltreatment. The hypothesized SEM fit the data well and indicated that the association between previous childhood sexual and physical maltreatment and current psychological adjustment appeared to be strongly mediated by social support and coping strategies. ...

Purpose This paper aims to study aggressive bidding strategies in real estate auctions – a structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. Design/methodology/approach The authors use two data sets strategies. First, the results from survey with 1,803 participants examining are used identify and related motivations. Second, apply SEM by using 1,078 exclusive auction journals sales Norway both dire...

Partial Least Squares Path Modelling (PLSPM) is a popular technique for estimating structural equation models in the social sciences, and is frequently presented as an alternative to covariance-based analysis as being especially suited for predictive modeling. While existing research on PLSPM has focused on its use in causalexplanatory modeling, this paper follows two recent papers at ICIS 2012...

Concepts of health are often multivariate or multidimensional. Structural equation modelling (SEM) is a multivariate method that incorporates ideas from regression, path-analysis and factor analysis. A Bayesian approach to SEM may enable models that reflect hypotheses based on complex theory. The development and application of Bayesian approaches to SEM has, however, been relatively slow but wi...

The current study aims to examine the reverse association between circular economy innovation (CEI) and digital sustainability (DS), as well dual mediation of government incentives (GI) among firms. Data was collected through a structured-questionnaire-based survey financial institutions (banks, insurance, companies) in Pakistan, Malaysia, China. data via structured questionnaires an online ana...

Description Extended Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Models may be specified with reticular action model (RAM) matrices or paths,linear structural relations (LISREL) matrices or paths, or directly in matrix algebra. To increase modularity, model expectations,fit functions, and optimizers can be easily interchanged. Fit functions include full information maximum likelihood (FIML),maximum li...

The study empirically examined how the use of mobile technology affects opportunism and business performance Small Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Sri Lanka. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to analyze data that collected from 400 SMEs by utilizing a structured questionnaire having face-to-face telephony inter-views. Results revealed generates signif...

This paper investigates the effect of organizational characteristics on information security practices in Trinidad and Tobago. As a theoretical lens, this study relies on a hypothesized model derived from Chang and Wang (2010) to test 24 hypotheses relating to information security practices. The data was collected using online surveys and was analyzed using factor analysis and structured equati...
