    In this session, we discussed the validation of higher order constructs, specifically focusing on internal marketing and internal service quality. The first step involved assessing lower order constructs using PLS algorithm to evaluate factor loadings, reliability, and validity. Once validated, we moved on to higher order constructs, explaining the difference between reflective formative and reflective reflective constructs, and how they are measured using multiple indicators.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:14:50

    We then introduced the disjoint two-stage approach for validating reflective reflective constructs. This involved generating latent variable scores for lower order constructs, which were then used as indicators for the higher order construct. The session concluded with a demonstration of how to assess the reliability and validity of the higher order reflective reflective construct, emphasizing that the assessment process remains consistent with that of lower order constructs.

  • What are higher order constructs?

    Higher order constructs are abstract dimensions that encompass multiple lower order constructs, allowing researchers to model complex relationships.

  • What is the difference between reflective and formative constructs?

    Reflective constructs have indicators that reflect the underlying latent variable, while formative constructs are formed by their indicators.

  • What is the disjoint two-stage approach?

    The disjoint two-stage approach involves generating latent variable scores for lower order constructs and using them as indicators for higher order constructs.

  • How do you validate a reflective reflective construct?

    To validate a reflective reflective construct, assess reliability and validity using the same procedures as for lower order constructs.

  • What is the role of PLS algorithm in this process?

    The PLS algorithm is used to calculate factor loadings, reliability, and validity for both lower and higher order constructs.

  • What indicators are used for internal service quality?

    Indicators for internal service quality include reliability, assurance, empathy, and responsiveness.

  • Can you remove a lower order construct from a reflective construct?

    In reflective constructs, lower order constructs are interchangeable; removing one does not affect the overall construct.

  • What is the importance of discriminant validity?

    Discriminant validity ensures that a construct is distinct from other constructs, confirming its unique contribution.

  • How do you assess the measurement model for higher order constructs?

    The assessment involves evaluating outer loadings, reliability, and validity, similar to lower order constructs.

  • What is the significance of latent variable scores?

    Latent variable scores summarize multiple indicators into a single score, facilitating the assessment of higher order constructs.

    validating higher order constructs in
  • 00:00:14
    this session we're going to talk about
  • 00:00:16
    how to validate higher order
  • 00:00:18
    constructs before we do that let's
  • 00:00:21
    quickly recap as to what we are doing
  • 00:00:24
    now here is the model that we want to
  • 00:00:26
    test now as part of step one we are
  • 00:00:29
    assessing our measurement model based on
  • 00:00:32
    measurement model since we've got higher
  • 00:00:34
    order constructs and lower order
  • 00:00:36
    constructs
  • 00:00:37
    here these six are your lower order
  • 00:00:40
    constructs and this internal marketing
  • 00:00:42
    is higher order construct with these
  • 00:00:45
    three and these four lower order
  • 00:00:47
    constructs now the first step is you
  • 00:00:50
    assess all the lower order constructs
  • 00:00:52
    and this is what we did here we designed
  • 00:00:56
    this model with all lower order
  • 00:00:58
    constructs no matter if they had a
  • 00:01:00
    higher order construct or not all lower
  • 00:01:03
    order constructs were part of this
  • 00:01:06
    analysis
  • 00:01:09
    PLS Sam algorithm was run
  • 00:01:13
    and Factor loadings reliability and
  • 00:01:16
    validity was assessed this was done in
  • 00:01:19
    previous sessions the video will be
  • 00:01:21
    shared in the
  • 00:01:22
    description now moving on since we've
  • 00:01:25
    got two higher order constructs here
  • 00:01:27
    internal marketing and internal service
  • 00:01:29
    quality now once lower order constructs
  • 00:01:31
    are validated the next step is to
  • 00:01:33
    validate the higher order constructs in
  • 00:01:35
    this case I'm taking internal
  • 00:01:37
    marketing as reflective formative and
  • 00:01:41
    internal service quality as reflective
  • 00:01:43
    reflective higher order construct now
  • 00:01:45
    what do we mean by reflective formative
  • 00:01:47
    and reflective reflective and what is a
  • 00:01:51
    higher order construct now we did
  • 00:01:52
    discuss the difference between
  • 00:01:54
    reflective formative constructs in the
  • 00:01:56
    last session but we did not discuss them
  • 00:01:59
    at higher level in this session we're
  • 00:02:02
    going to talk about higher order
  • 00:02:04
    constructs and how do we validate
  • 00:02:06
    reflective reflective higher order
  • 00:02:11
    construct validating higher order
  • 00:02:13
    constructs now the concept of
  • 00:02:15
    hierarchical component model or higher
  • 00:02:17
    order constructs higher order constructs
  • 00:02:20
    also known as heroical component models
  • 00:02:22
    in context of plsm provide a framework
  • 00:02:25
    for researchers to Model A construct on
  • 00:02:28
    one or more abstract dimension that is
  • 00:02:30
    your higher order construct and it's
  • 00:02:32
    more concrete subdimension so in higher
  • 00:02:35
    order construct you've got a construct
  • 00:02:38
    at the second level or at a higher level
  • 00:02:41
    and then that construct has got 2 3 4 or
  • 00:02:44
    whatever number of
  • 00:02:46
    dimensions in this study we've got
  • 00:02:48
    internal marketing that is a higher
  • 00:02:50
    order construct with these three
  • 00:02:51
    dimensions and each Dimension is
  • 00:02:54
    measured using multiple
  • 00:02:56
    indicators now this is a lower order
  • 00:02:59
    construct
  • 00:03:01
    this construct is directly measured
  • 00:03:03
    using different indicators same as for
  • 00:03:05
    this same as for this same as for this
  • 00:03:07
    and same as for this but this construct
  • 00:03:10
    here is a higher order construct with
  • 00:03:12
    these dimensions and each Dimension is
  • 00:03:14
    measured using different indicators same
  • 00:03:16
    is the case with internal service
  • 00:03:18
    Quality Moving
  • 00:03:21
    On HCM refers to more General construct
  • 00:03:24
    that is measured at a higher level of
  • 00:03:26
    abstraction while simultaneously
  • 00:03:28
    assessing several subcomponent that is
  • 00:03:30
    dimension as is the case with internal
  • 00:03:32
    service quality and internal Marketing
  • 00:03:34
    in this
  • 00:03:35
    example hence by specifying lower order
  • 00:03:38
    construct SCCM can cover concrete rates
  • 00:03:41
    of more General conceptual variable of
  • 00:03:44
    interest moving on these are the
  • 00:03:46
    different types of higher order
  • 00:03:48
    construct now in this example I've got
  • 00:03:50
    reflective reflective and reflective
  • 00:03:51
    formative now what is reflective
  • 00:03:54
    reflective now we did assess or
  • 00:03:57
    understand the reflective construct in
  • 00:03:58
    the last session and the arrows are
  • 00:04:01
    pointing towards the indicators from
  • 00:04:04
    this latent variable this latent
  • 00:04:06
    variable and this latent variable but
  • 00:04:08
    have a look at this higher order
  • 00:04:09
    construct now these three lower order
  • 00:04:12
    constructs are reflected in this higher
  • 00:04:13
    order construct and the arrows are
  • 00:04:15
    pointing towards the lower order
  • 00:04:17
    constructs now this is reflective here
  • 00:04:21
    and reflective here just as internal
  • 00:04:23
    service quality in this case the
  • 00:04:26
    properties that we
  • 00:04:28
    identify for reflective constructs in
  • 00:04:30
    the last session still stand at a higher
  • 00:04:32
    level now these lower order constructs
  • 00:04:35
    in this case are interchangeable and
  • 00:04:37
    even if you remove one of them you're
  • 00:04:39
    still your construct will still be there
  • 00:04:42
    it won't lose its
  • 00:04:44
    identity reflective formative now at the
  • 00:04:48
    first level they are reflective that is
  • 00:04:49
    the arrows are pointing towards the
  • 00:04:51
    indicators at the higher level they are
  • 00:04:53
    formative because these lower order
  • 00:04:55
    constructs form the higher order
  • 00:04:58
    construct in this case internal
  • 00:05:00
    marketing now Vision development rewards
  • 00:05:03
    vision is reflective at to level
  • 00:05:06
    development is reflective at lower level
  • 00:05:08
    and rewards is reflective at lower level
  • 00:05:11
    now these three constructs form higher
  • 00:05:13
    order construct of internal
  • 00:05:16
    marketing if you remove any one of them
  • 00:05:19
    then there is no concept of internal
  • 00:05:21
    Marketing in this case we have got two
  • 00:05:25
    constructs internal service quality
  • 00:05:28
    reflective reflective that is reflective
  • 00:05:30
    at the first order and reflective at the
  • 00:05:32
    second level reflective formative that
  • 00:05:35
    is reflective at the lower level and
  • 00:05:37
    formative at the higher level with the
  • 00:05:39
    arrows pointing towards the construct in
  • 00:05:41
    this particular session I'm going to
  • 00:05:44
    guide you on how to validate a
  • 00:05:46
    reflective reflective construct that is
  • 00:05:48
    your internal service
  • 00:05:51
    quality the procedure is the same as we
  • 00:05:53
    follow it for reflective lower order
  • 00:05:55
    construct procedure doesn't change you
  • 00:05:57
    have to assess the reliability and
  • 00:05:59
    validity
  • 00:06:00
    however for higher order construct we
  • 00:06:02
    are going to use this joint two-stage
  • 00:06:04
    approach now once you have validated the
  • 00:06:06
    lower order constructs we are going to
  • 00:06:08
    generate scores for lower order
  • 00:06:11
    constructs there are other approaches
  • 00:06:14
    like embedded two stage approach however
  • 00:06:16
    the preferred and most used is disjoint
  • 00:06:19
    two-stage approach and the steps are
  • 00:06:22
    step one you have to generate latent
  • 00:06:24
    variable
  • 00:06:25
    scores and you have to copy them to a
  • 00:06:28
    data set that is your data set that you
  • 00:06:30
    are using in your study then import that
  • 00:06:32
    data set and then your loc's will now
  • 00:06:36
    serve as indicators for higher order
  • 00:06:38
    construct how now let's have a
  • 00:06:42
    look here is our model now the first
  • 00:06:45
    step we have to generate latent variable
  • 00:06:47
    score now each of these dimension of
  • 00:06:49
    internal service quality is measured
  • 00:06:51
    using these number of
  • 00:06:54
    indicators
  • 00:06:56
    here now these are actually the
  • 00:06:59
    indicator
  • 00:07:00
    of internal service quality
  • 00:07:03
    reliability Assurance empathy and
  • 00:07:06
    responsiveness now these are the
  • 00:07:08
    indicators of internal service quality
  • 00:07:10
    as mentioned in the model
  • 00:07:14
    here so in internal service quality has
  • 00:07:17
    got these
  • 00:07:19
    indicators but if we assess the
  • 00:07:21
    construct at lower level this construct
  • 00:07:23
    is measured using three or four
  • 00:07:25
    indicators so I need to change these
  • 00:07:28
    scores
  • 00:07:30
    that is measured using multiple items
  • 00:07:32
    into a single score so that they can
  • 00:07:34
    serve as indicators like this here so
  • 00:07:37
    how do we do this to do so we have to go
  • 00:07:40
    to
  • 00:07:42
    reports if you haven't run the model yet
  • 00:07:44
    just go to run go to calculate PLS
  • 00:07:48
    algorithm all good start and your
  • 00:07:51
    results are here now let's go to reports
  • 00:07:54
    and we need our latent variable score
  • 00:07:57
    report and where is your latent variable
  • 00:08:00
    score if you look at final results here
  • 00:08:03
    this is your latent variable scores just
  • 00:08:05
    click scores and here it is now you can
  • 00:08:09
    copy it export to CSV it's copied now
  • 00:08:12
    where is your data file it's always a
  • 00:08:13
    good idea to put it in the same data
  • 00:08:15
    file so here is my data file now I'll
  • 00:08:18
    put it at the end here have a
  • 00:08:21
    look
  • 00:08:23
    here you can delete this case ID now
  • 00:08:27
    it's the same number here
  • 00:08:30
    341 in
  • 00:08:33
    total here it is 340 because it starts
  • 00:08:36
    with zero so 341 rows the same number of
  • 00:08:40
    respondent that you had in your original
  • 00:08:42
    data now what happens
  • 00:08:44
    is your score for your lower order
  • 00:08:47
    construct that is measured using
  • 00:08:49
    multiple indicators is transformed into
  • 00:08:51
    a single item because now these items
  • 00:08:55
    are measuring here reliability Assurance
  • 00:08:56
    empathy empathy and responsiveness now
  • 00:08:59
    previously at the lower order level
  • 00:09:01
    liability was measured using four or
  • 00:09:04
    five items now those five four or five
  • 00:09:07
    items now are combined into a single
  • 00:09:09
    latent variable score now these four
  • 00:09:12
    will serve as indicators for the higher
  • 00:09:15
    order
  • 00:09:16
    construct let's save it and now let's
  • 00:09:19
    import it again now go back back yes we
  • 00:09:24
    want to save
  • 00:09:25
    it right click import data file
  • 00:09:30
    so it's saved let's close it here it is
  • 00:09:36
    import go back and here it is Data one
  • 00:09:41
    now let's look at our measurement model
  • 00:09:44
    again now we've got multiple data sets
  • 00:09:46
    so you have to select the data set that
  • 00:09:48
    you want and have a look here now Vision
  • 00:09:52
    that was previously like this now these
  • 00:09:55
    four indicators are used to generate
  • 00:09:58
    your latent variables source and here is
  • 00:10:01
    the latent variable score for each of
  • 00:10:04
    these factors or
  • 00:10:06
    Dimensions now since internal service
  • 00:10:09
    quality is measured using these four
  • 00:10:10
    dimensions and now these four dimension
  • 00:10:12
    will serve as indicators for internal
  • 00:10:16
    service quality that is measured at the
  • 00:10:17
    higher level how to do this let's go
  • 00:10:21
    back yes and let's duplicate
  • 00:10:25
    it copy resource
  • 00:10:29
    and right
  • 00:10:31
    click paste resource so let's say it's
  • 00:10:33
    the copy of measurement
  • 00:10:37
    model
  • 00:10:39
    and let's say it is reflective for
  • 00:10:42
    internal service
  • 00:10:43
    quality now
  • 00:10:46
    Save open
  • 00:10:48
    it and now I do not need
  • 00:10:51
    these
  • 00:10:53
    yeah yeah all of this is
  • 00:10:56
    deleted
  • 00:10:57
    now let's add
  • 00:11:01
    reliability Assurance empathy and
  • 00:11:03
    responsiveness all of them selected and
  • 00:11:06
    dropped here and this is your internal
  • 00:11:09
    service quality press enter now look at
  • 00:11:12
    this the four indicators for internal
  • 00:11:16
    service quality as in the
  • 00:11:18
    model here and you got these indicators
  • 00:11:22
    by generating latent variable score but
  • 00:11:25
    look at the arrows pointing towards the
  • 00:11:26
    indicator so this is reflective
  • 00:11:28
    reflective
  • 00:11:30
    now what about these this is also a
  • 00:11:33
    higher order construct so Vision
  • 00:11:35
    development and vs make up internal
  • 00:11:36
    marketing but this is reflective
  • 00:11:38
    formative we are going to discuss how to
  • 00:11:41
    validate a reflective formative scale in
  • 00:11:43
    coming videos now since it's red you
  • 00:11:46
    cannot run the model so let's link it so
  • 00:11:49
    internal service quality is linked to
  • 00:11:50
    the dependent variable and it is linked
  • 00:11:53
    to
  • 00:11:55
    your IV as well now that your model is
  • 00:11:58
    complete complete this is reflective
  • 00:12:00
    reflective all other lower order
  • 00:12:02
    constructs will remain the
  • 00:12:05
    same this is called disjoint two stage
  • 00:12:08
    approach because you do not use the
  • 00:12:11
    latent variable score for the other
  • 00:12:14
    latent construct you use them at
  • 00:12:17
    indicator level so you add the
  • 00:12:19
    indicators for each of the construct
  • 00:12:22
    just as we have done just we are going
  • 00:12:24
    to use the latent variable score for
  • 00:12:27
    these subdimensions of internal SW
  • 00:12:29
    service quality why because internal
  • 00:12:32
    service quality is reflective reflective
  • 00:12:34
    higher order construct and now we are
  • 00:12:35
    assessing internal service quality at a
  • 00:12:38
    higher level because we are assessing
  • 00:12:40
    the validity or the reliability that is
  • 00:12:43
    measurement model assessment for
  • 00:12:45
    reflective reflective higher order
  • 00:12:47
    construct now again calculate PLS
  • 00:12:50
    algorithm

    [Music]
  • 00:12:53
    start
  • 00:12:56
    now here is your output this is your
  • 00:12:59
    graphic output if you look here let me
  • 00:13:01
    increase the size a bit
  • 00:13:05
    here look at
  • 00:13:07
    this RQ looks good Alpha looks good
  • 00:13:12
    reliability looks good A looks really
  • 00:13:14
    good now look at the report now look at
  • 00:13:16
    the outer loadings first for your
  • 00:13:19
    construct here look at the outer
  • 00:13:20
    loadings all good let's improve the zoom
  • 00:13:23
    here all good now look at the
  • 00:13:26
    reliability and validity
  • 00:13:29
    look at the internal service quality all
  • 00:13:32
    good yes now you can similarly look at
  • 00:13:36
    your discriminant
  • 00:13:38
    validity again for internal service
  • 00:13:40
    quality it's all good same is the case
  • 00:13:43
    for for and Loa all good this one is
  • 00:13:46
    higher and all these are
  • 00:13:48
    low So within construct variance for
  • 00:13:53
    internal service quality is higher than
  • 00:13:55
    its shared
  • 00:13:57
    variance now you see we do not change
  • 00:14:01
    the way we assess the reflective
  • 00:14:03
    reflective higher order construct we
  • 00:14:05
    assess it the same way we did it for
  • 00:14:07
    lower order reflective constructs and we
  • 00:14:10
    assess the same output we assess this
  • 00:14:14
    the outer loadings we assess the
  • 00:14:15
    reliability we assess the validity just
  • 00:14:17
    as we did for the lower order constructs
  • 00:14:19
    you do it for the higher order
  • 00:14:21
    reflective reflective construct as well
  • 00:14:24
    I hope the session would have helped you
  • 00:14:26
    understand the disjoint two-stage
  • 00:14:28
    approach that we can use to assess the
  • 00:14:31
    measurement model that is reflective
  • 00:14:34
    reflective higher order construct thank
  • 00:14:37
    you very much
