Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) Using R.
Cham: Springer.

Book Description
Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has become a standard
approach for analyzing complex inter-relationships between observed and latent
variables. Researchers appreciate the many advantages of PLS-SEM such as the
possibility to estimate very complex models and the method’s flexibility in terms of data
requirements and measurement specification.
This practical guide provides a step-by-step treatment of the major choices facing
researchers when analyzing PLS models using R, a free software environment for
statistical computing, which runs on Windows, MacOS, and UNIX computer platforms
(https://www.r-project.org/). Adopting the R software’s SEMinR package
(https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/seminr/index.html), which brings a friendly
syntax to creating and estimating structural equation models, each chapter offers a
concise overview of relevant topics and metrics, followed by an in-depth description
of a case study. Simple instructions give readers the “how-tos” of using SEMinR to
obtain solutions and document their results. Rules of thumb in every chapter provide
guidelines on best practices in the application and interpretation of PLS-SEM.

Book Features
• This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited
access
• Offers concise guidelines on how to apply and interpret PLS-SEM results
• Includes an illustrative step-by-step application of PLS-SEM within the R
software environment
• Draws on the highly user-friendly SEMinR package, co-developed by two of
the co-authors
• Adopts a case study approach that focuses on the illustration of relevant
analysis steps
• Comes with an R markdown page that documents the R code
