Reference for GFI value of 0.8 is acceptable

[Neeraj Kaushik]

Dear Friends

While working on SEM, al the Model fit values of CFA, GFI etc need min value of 0.9

However while working of real dataset, we seldom get these values (even after using Modification indices)

I tried to search some literature where GFI value of 0.8 or more is acceptable.

Reference given in text.................even though the values for GFI and AGFI do not exceed 0.9 (the threshold value), they still met the requirement suggested by Baumgartner and Homburg (1995), and Doll, Xia, and Torkzadeh (1994): the value is acceptable if above 0.8

Source: Baumgartner, H., Homburg, C.: Applications of Structural Equation Modeling in Marketing and Consumer Research: a review. International Journal of Research in Marketing 13(2), 139-161 (1996)

Doll, W.J., Xia, W., Torkzadeh, G.: A confirmatory factor analysis of the end-user computing satisfaction instrument, MIS Quarterly 18(4), 357–369 (1994)

The details are given http://www.ijbssnet.com/journals/Vol._2_No._14%3B_July_2011/18.pdf

Hope this may be useful for you

Best wishes
