A PLS-SEM in evaluating a virtual teamwork in online higher education
23 de May de 2024
The Statistical analysis tool is considered an essential tool for the research study in the social science domain. Of which, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is a second-generation statistical modeling technique to be used for developing theories in exploratory research.
That’s why PLS-SEM is considered to be used in the research field of education and ICT to validate a conceptual model of virtual teamwork in the context of online higher education.
This is what the article we present today talks about, written by Akinul Islam Jony and Enric Serradell López, the latter member of Management & e-Learning (MeL) research group. The article was published in the Research and Innovation Forum 2020.
About the article
The article presents findings that underscore the significance of utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) as a statistical tool in educational and ICT research. It outlines the rationale for selecting PLS-SEM and demonstrates its application in evaluating a conceptual model of virtual teamwork within the online higher education setting. The study delves into the analysis of research outcomes and the assessment of the structural and measurement model of the PLS path model for virtual teamwork.
In conclusion, the paper not only offers a comprehensive guide on the reasons for choosing PLS-SEM but also provides practical insights on how to implement this statistical method in diverse research contexts beyond virtual teamwork in online higher education. It emphasizes the pivotal role of PLS-SEM in developing, exploring, and analyzing research findings in the realm of social science research.
By shedding light on the applicability of PLS-SEM in empirical studies related to education and ICT, particularly in evaluating virtual teamwork models, the article contributes to enhancing understanding and utilization of this statistical technique in research endeavors.
