À propos de ce service
SmartPLS 4 PLS-SEM for your project.
This gig provides complete structural equation modeling in SmartPLS 4 following the steps of (Hair et al., 2019), from model setup to clear, publication ready reporting. Suitable for business, management and social science research based on survey data.
For your project, I will perform a full PLS-SEM analysis in SmartPLS 4, following standard reporting guidelines. This includes data screening, measurement model assessment (loadings, Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, AVE, Fornell Larcker and HTMT discriminant validity, Common Method Bias) and clear justification of constructs.
I then evaluate the structural model using bootstrapping for path coefficients, mediation and moderation if included, check collinearity (VIF), and report R², f², Q² and PLSpredict , providing tables and SmartPLS path diagrams aligned with best practice PLS-SEM standards.
You will receive
- SmartPLS 4 project file
- Result tables (loadings, AVE, HTMT, R², f², Q².)
Main Steps for the Methods:

FAQ
What do you mean by “survey questions” in the packages?
It refers to the number of measured items/indicators in your model (questionnaire items used to measure constructs), not the number of hypotheses.
How many respondents can you analyze per package?
Basic: up to 200 respondents. Standard: up to 400. Premium: up to 400. If your sample is larger, message me for a custom offer.
What will you deliver?
SmartPLS 4 project file + exported tables (loadings, CR, AVE, HTMT, VIF, R², f², Q², bootstrapping) + path diagram(s). Premium also includes an insights summary.
Do you include data cleaning?
Premium includes basic data cleaning/screening (missing values checks, item review). Basic/Standard expect clean data; I will still flag issues and suggest fixes if I find problems.
Will you run bootstrapping for significance testing?
Yes. I use bootstrapping to report path coefficients, t-values/p-values, and confidence intervals for structural paths (and for mediation/moderation when included).
Do you test reliability and validity (HTMT, Fornell–Larcker, AVE)?
Yes. I report indicator loadings, Cronbach’s alpha, Composite Reliability, AVE, Fornell–Larcker, and HTMT, following standard PLS-SEM reporting practice.
Can you test mediation and moderation?
Moderation: included in Standard (1 moderator) and Premium (1 moderator). Mediation: included in Premium (1 mediator). For more mediators/moderators, request a custom offer.
Do you provide interpretation/write-up support?
I provide brief, clear interpretation notes with your tables/figures. Premium includes an insights summary. Full thesis-style writing is not included, but can be added (contact me, if any such further assistance is needed)
Do you offer free-text analysis or questionnaire writing?
No, those are not included in these packages. This gig is focused on PLS-SEM analysis and reporting in SmartPLS 4.
Is my data confidential?
Yes. Your files are used only for analysis and never shared. If you want, I can delete your data after delivery, just tell me
