Common Beliefs and Reality About PLS: Comments on Rönkkö and Evermann (2013)
Open accessAbstract
This article addresses Rönkkö 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 Rönkkö 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.

“Finally, the goodness of fit was determined using SmartPLS by calculating the standardized root mean square residual (SRMR; 0.076) and the normed fit index (NFI; 0.866). SRMR values below 0.08 mean that the data fit the model (Hu and Bentler, 1999; Henseler et al., 2014), whereas for NFI values (which are between 0 and 1), the closer the value is to 1, the better the fit (Lohm ¨ oller, 1989).”

In the citing paper
“The value of the SRMR was 0.037, which is lower than the threshold of 0.080 [138].”
In the citing paper
“In other words, a confirmatory composite analysis helps determine whether it makes sense to create the proposed formative construct and identifies any model misspecifications [138,139].”

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.
