Role of structural equation modeling in scale development
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the study was to highlight the role of structural equation modeling in scale development and the problems faced by researchers in developing the scale using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Design/methodology/approach: The study thoroughly reviews and analyses the literature to discuss the role of SEM in scale development. The study was purely based on theoretical perspective. Findings: The study found that the issues such as multivariate normality, multicollinearity, and methods of estimation are often overlooked by researchers in developing the scale. The study also observed that application and reporting of structural equation modeling in scale development is underdeveloped. The role of EFA and CFA in dimensionality of a construct is equivocal. Originality/value: The study has covered all the issues of scale development using SEM including EFA, CFA, dimensionality, multivariate normality and Multicollinearity

“All of the measured items demonstrated acceptable skewness values (ranging from − 1.48 to − 0.44) and kurtosis values (ranging from − 0.03 to 2.62), which were below the maximum threshold of|3|, suggesting that the data for all of the items were approximately normally distributed”

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.
