This paper explores the concept of structural equation modelling (SEM) and discusses the
steps which researchers should follow when using this technique. This involves the …

Purpose After expressing an initial disquiet about the nature of many studies that are
published using structural equation modelling (SEM), a rationale for using the technique is …

In recent years, the use of structural equation modeling (SEM) has become widespread in
tourism and hospitality research. Because there are two different approaches to SEM (ie …

Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a powerful statistical technique that establishes
measurement models and structural models. On the other hand, multiple regression (MR) is …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to review the use of partial least squares-structural
equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in the field of hospitality and tourism and thereby to assess …
