Query regarding Higher order construct

[Prashasti Keshari]

Respected members,

In case of Higher Order Models where the model is Reflective - Formative nature, is there any alternate method if I do not have global indicator in my questionnaire?

Dear Prashasti

For the RF-HOC (Reflective Formative higher Order Construct), report the convergent and Discriminant Validity of all LOCs. For the HOC, ideally you should have taken a single global item to compute the Redundancy for the HOC. If you've not taken that, then proceed with reporting outer weight, p-value and VIF for each LOC of this HOC to establish the discrimimnant validity. This should be enough. Plz refer to  (PDF) When to use and how to report the results of PLS-SEM (researchgate.net)

Best wishes
