Sosyal Bilimlerde PLS-YEM Kullanım Rehberi: Hiyerarşik Yapı Modellemesi ile Bir Uygulama.

PLS based Structural Equation Modelling approach widens in usage in Social Research thanks to their expedient and facilitator aspects. Social scientists test their models with PLS-SEM with many programs which are led by SmartPLS. Accordingly with structures of scales in social research, most of the models consists hierarchical multi-dimensional variables. The current paper aims to indicate critical points to be considered while using PLS-SEM. The given checklist offers a list for requirements of convenient usage of PLS-SEM. Additionally, this study aims to guide researchers to build hierarchical structures and to grant their validity & reliability. This knowledge fills the blank which is needed in the Turkish literature with a rare application of the higher-order constructing process. The contribution of this paper includes usage, interpratetion, and reporting issues for end-users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
