Hello Scholars
I am working on a research project by using SmartPLS for the first time. I have several control variables such as gender (used dummy variables for Male and Female), and working experience (dummy variables based on different length of service). I like to find out how to report these control variables, as i could not find any reference so far in which control variables has been used while applying PLS approach using SmartPLS.Waiting guidance regarding how to report Control Variables or by providing any reference.
I want to publish in that journal.
