“…First, PLS can avoid problems associated with small samples and nonnormal data (Hair et al, 2012;Al-Azad et al, 2022;Tseng et al, 2023). Second, PLS is suitable for exploratory research and theoretical development, and it can cope with complex models and category variables (Hair et al, 2012;Rahman et al, 2022). Finally, PLS is especially useful for prediction (Urbach & Ahlemann, 2010), and using it was more consistent with our research objectives (Urbach & Ahlemann, 2010).…”

“…Thus, the case study research method is used for this study. While case studies do not offer generalizable statistical findings, they are widely used for theory development and theory building (Ali et al , 2021; Chang et al , 2022; Duan et al , 2022; Dubois and Gadde, 2002; Huang et al , 2021; Huang and Lee, 2022; Nam and Kabutey, 2021; Li et al , 2022; Rahman et al , 2022).…”

Based on the findings mentioned earlier, TL has the potential to impact employee AC to the organisation's goals and values.…”
