PLS-SEM effectively handles small sample sizes, does not require data normalization, and is well-suited for predicting complex models that aid in theory development.
“This study used PLS-SEM for data analysis because it effectively handles small sample sizes, does not require data normalization, and is well-suited for predicting complex models that aid in theory development, making it more appropriate than covariance-based Structural Equation Modeling (Hair et al. 2012(Hair et al. , 2019;;Pathak et al. 2024).”

All constructs have Cronbach's alpha above 0.70, with the lowest value 0.844.
“For all the constructs, Cronbach's alpha coefficient is above 0.70, the threshold recommended by Hair et al. (2012), with the lowest value equal to 0.844.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
