“…First, we had a composite measurement model. Both theoretical studies [97][98][99] and empirical simulation studies [100,101] recommend and support the use of PLS for composite models. Second, as per Chin's [102] indications, we used PLS because we employed latent variable scores in subsequent analysis for modeling a second-order multidimensional construct, applying the higher-order component two-stage approach [103].…”

The Effect of Absorptive Capacity on Green Customer Capital under an Organizational Unlearning Context

Environmental management is becoming increasingly important within organizations and forms an essential part of their strategies. As customers are more concerned with the care of the environment, companies are required to be more aware of their actions. Consequently, companies must ignore their historical mindsets and assumptions to be able to adopt green-oriented practices and processes. Our specific research questions are: (i) How can firms become (more) green-oriented? and (ii) how can knowledge-based organizational capabilities drive this shift into greener companies, which may enhance green customer capital? The research model describes how the complementary roles of absorptive capacity (direct effect) and the fostering of an organizational unlearning context (moderating effect) affects green customer capital within the Spanish automotive component manufacturing sector. Empirical results reveal that to create green customer capital, companies should absorb new knowledge and build a context of organizational unlearning. In today's competitive environment, knowledge rapidly becomes obsolete, so companies need to encourage unlearning to make space for new knowledge that meets environmental needs and keeps pace with changing customer preferences. The research hypotheses were tested using partial least squares (PLS) path-modeling.

“…The PLS-SEM estimation was conducted mainly according to the six steps proposed by related scholars: (1) check for multicollinearity problems; (2) check the significance of the standardized path coefficient (β); (3) test the size of the 2 value and the path coefficients; (4) estimate the 2 effect size; (5) evaluate the predictive relevance ( 2 ); (6) examine the indicator of Goodness of Fit (Rigdon, 2012;Hair, Ringle, & Sarstedt, 2011). Collinearity could be evaluated by using the variance inflation factor (VIF) to investigate if a collinearity problem exists.…”

Few practice-oriented courses are currently integrated into online learning platforms, such as OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It is worthwhile to explore how learners respond to information technology and new teaching methods when practice-oriented course are placed online. Therefore, this study probes learner willingness to participate in a practice-oriented course distributed through a MOOC platform, investigating relationships among perceptions, behavioural intentions, and actual behaviour.The current research framework integrates the Technology Acceptance Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior as its core theoretical basis. Empirical data were collected through a cross-section survey. All participants were students of 2D Animation Production, with a total of 272 respondents. The questionnaire data

“…Rigdon (2012) provides a perspective on this equation when he says, On the surface, covariances count twice. However, the variances themselves can be divided into shared variance and unshared or unique variance.…”

This article addresses Rö nkkö and Evermann's criticisms of the partial least squares (PLS) approach to structural equation modeling. We contend that the alleged shortcomings of PLS are not due to problems with the technique, but instead to three problems with Rönkkö and Evermann's study: (a) the adherence to the common factor model, (b) a very limited simulation designs, and (c) overstretched generalizations of their findings. Whereas Rö nkkö and Evermann claim to be dispelling myths about PLS, they have in reality created new myths that we, in turn, debunk. By examining their claims, our article contributes to reestablishing a constructive discussion of the PLS method and its properties. We show that PLS does offer advantages for exploratory research and that it is a viable estimator for composite factor models. This can pose an interesting alternative if the common factor model does not hold. Therefore, we can conclude that PLS should continue to be used as an important statistical tool for management and organizational research, as well as other social science disciplines.
