Purpose-The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating influence of three digitalization antecedents on the links between digitalization and survival. It addresses the roots of digitalization to discover different patterns and foundations that contribute to higher survival rates. The article explores whether a learning strategy can attai...
While employees actively seek out workplaces that offer meaningful work experiences, the concept of meaningful work remains notably underexplored within the turnover literature. The present study addresses this gap by examining the role of work meaningfulness among knowledge workers and its direct and indirect effects on turnover intentions and job...
The impact of big data analytics capabilities (BDACs) on firms’ sustainable performance (SP) is exerted through a set of underlying mechanisms that operate as a “black box.” Previous research, from the perspective of IT-enabled capabilities, demonstrated that a serial mediation of supply chain management capabilities (SCMCs) and circular economy pr...
Purpose
Rigorous applications of analytical tools in information systems (IS) research are important for developing new knowledge and innovations in the field. Emerging tools provide building blocks for future inquiry, practice and innovation. This article summarizes the findings of an analysis of the adoption and reporting of partial least squares...
The link between the field of information technology business value and sustainable activities is a widely discussed topic in academia and management. However, the mechanisms that lead to the impact on business performance are still elusive. The circular economy is one of the most recent approaches to address sustainability challenges. Drawing on t...
La forma más efectiva de aprender a utilizar una técnica estadística de análisis de datos es aplicarla sobre un conjunto de datos. A lo largo de este libro, usa-mos un único ejemplo que le permitirá hacer esto. Comenzamos con un modelo simple, y en el Capítulo 5, ampliaremos este mismo modelo a uno más amplio y complejo. En nuestro modelo inicial,...
A lo largo del libro, vamos a utilizar una única base de datos y el software SmartPLS 4 (Ringle, Wende y Becker, 2022) para ilustrar y explicar PLS-SEM. La base de datos representativa proviene de una investigación sobre la interacción entre la reputación corporativa, la satisfacción del consumidor y en última instancia, la lealtad del consumidor,...
Para explicar la estimación de los efectos de mediación, vamos a emplear de nuevo el modelo de reputación corporativa ampliado en el software SmartPLS.
Continuamos trabajando con nuestro ejemplo del modelo PLS-SEM sobre reputación corporativa. En el Capítulo 3, se explicaba cómo estimar el modelo PLS y cómo obtener los resultados al abrir el informe predeterminado en el software SmartPLS 4 (Ringle, Wende y Becker, 2022). Insistimos que para hacer esto, se debe en primer lugar cargar el modelo simp...
El nomograma simple presentado en el Capítulo 2 describe las relaciones entre las dos dimensiones de la reputación corporativa (i.e., competencia y simpatía), así como las dos variables de resultado (i.e., la satisfacción y lealtad del cliente). Si bien el modelo simple es útil para explicar cómo la reputación corporativa afecta a la satisfacción d...
Continuamos con el modelo ampliado de reputación corporativa que se presentó en el Capítulo 5. Si no tiene un nomograma PLS disponible en SmartPLS, descargue el archivo Corporate Reputation.zip desde el sitio web de https://www. pls-sem.net y guárdelo en el disco duro.
Expanded awareness and application of recent PLS-SEM reporting practices were again called for by Hair (2022) in his PLS 2022 Keynote Address. This paper analyzes and extends the application of PLS-SEM in IMDS (Industrial Management & Data Systems) to focus on trends emerging in the more recent 2016-2022 period.

Specifically, we provide new insights to the stream of research that proposes organizational agility to be a higher order capability enabled by informat...
Applications of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) often draw on survey data. While researchers go to great lengths to document reliability and validity statistics that support the generalisability of their findings, they often overlook or ignore a more fundamental issue related to data analysis—the representativeness of t...
The increasing ethnic heterogeneity that many societies are experiencing could be interpreted as a detrimental phenomenon, since empirical literature exists that indicates that higher levels of ethnic fractionalization induce higher levels of corruption. This paper aims to show the role of tolerance in overcoming this harmful effect of ethnic heter...

The present research model explores this topic further by including within the model the links between organizations' innovation outcomes, its process of organizational unlearning and business performance. In particular, the model empir...
Organizational agility (OA), as a key dynamic capability, is a firm's ability to enable sensing environmental changes and responding efficiently and effectively to them. This study explores this topic further by analyzing the part played by the information systems capabilities (ISC) variable as an antecedent of OA, and absorptive capacity (AC) as a...
The growing use of social online services raises the question of what encourages members to participate actively and maintain accumulated social capital. Our research has particularly become aware of the relevance of familiarity, trust and reciprocity in understanding the members' sense of a virtual community (VC). Familiarity and trust are efficie...
