Abstract:

There are various techniques for separately analyzing moderation and mediation effects in partial least squares structural equation models (PLS-SEM). These individual techniques are rather straightforward and widely understood. However, valid approaches for testing more complex moderated mediation effects that are embedded together in a single model are less well understood. In this paper, we explain and illustrate one approach to such an analysis using a complex model with numerous embedded moderated mediation relationships utilizing WarpPLS, a leading PLS-SEM software tool.
