A Monte Carlo Robustness Study on Formative Measurement Model Specification in CBSEM and PLS

Ringle, Christian M., Wilson, Bradley, Götz Oliver


Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present results from a simulation study, analyzing the robustness properties of formative indicators within different estimation methods. This study is unique in that it is the first one to investigate a model that primarily consists of formative measurement models. We do not discuss reflective and formative measurement theory comprehensively as this knowledge is assumed.
