Pilot Study in SPSS or PLS SEM

[charus...@gmail.com]

Respected Sir,

I am working on a higher-order formative model and the scale is adapted with additions and deletions. I have two queries:

1. Can I perform EFA on this since 6 main indicators form the latent construct, and there are further items to these indicators?

2. If EFA can't be performed, so to conduct a pilot study, then should I go for SPSS or PLS SEM?

Thank you

[Neeraj Kaushik]

Only the following are ascertained in the pilot testing:

1. Content validity of every construct

2. Reliability of every construct

3. Flow of questions

4. Wordings of all questions

5. Any other observation/suggestion from the respondents

No EFA/CFA shd be used on such small data
