Workshop Synopsis
In a quantitative study, a researcher proposes a conceptual framework or a hypothesised model for relationships between variables. Then he collects data for all the variables from a research sample using a research instrument. To analyse the validity and reliability of the instrument and to test whether the hypothesised model can be applied to the population of the study, he can use the SmartPLS 4 software.
This 2-day workshop is for academicians, researchers or postgraduate students with no / little basic working knowledge of statistics, who are/will be required to carry out statistical analysis for their research. It introduces the use of the latest version of SmartPLS 4 software for structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. Through the workshop, participants will be able to establish the validity and reliability of their research instruments, as well as analysing relationships among multiple variables in their research models / conceptual frameworks.
The workshop uses a practical hands-on approach. Participants will be able to practice their data analysis skills in SmartPLS 4 based on data given to them during the workshop.
The following is an example mediation model in SmartPLS 4.
