Abstract

Estimation and significant test of path coefficients in SEM with moderators must be started from creating interaction term, multiplication between indicators of antecedent variable from specific path and its moderator’s indicators, before usual SEM analysis. There are several methods of moderation analysis depended on types of SEM model, second order model or first order model, formative measurement model or reflective measurement model or mixed model.
