“…The PLS-SEM technique has been widely used as a useful tool for business research (Rigdon et al, 2017). In particular, sport management has been regarded as a particularly appropriate discipline for applying PLS-SEM to estimate complex interrelationships, such as direct, indirect, and moderating relationships (Cepeda-Carri on et al, 2022). As the research model examines the mediating and moderating effects, the PLS-SEM technique is deemed suitable as it estimates the path coefficients with reduced error terms (Hair et al, 2022;Sarstedt et al, 2016).…”

PurposeThis study examined the relationships between service encounter, perceived value, and repurchase intention in the fitness service sector through the theoretical lens of service-dominant logic. In addition, the mediating role of perceived value and the moderating role of service innovativeness were examined.Design/methodology/approachParticipants (n = 806) were drawn from fitness center customers in Taiwan using a convenience sampling technique. Partial least square structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses in the research model.FindingsThe results showed that service encounter had a positive impact on perceived value, which in turn affected repurchase intention. Moreover, the full mediating effect of perceived value was identified in the relationship between service encounter and repurchase intention. In addition, service innovativeness positively moderated the effect of service encounter on repurchase intention.Originality/valueThis study provides empirical evidence on the impact of staff-customer interactions (i.e. service encounter) on customers' perceptions and behaviors and identifies the critical role of perceived value as a mediating mechanism as well as a facilitating role of service innovativeness in enhancing repurchase intention.

“…This methodology is an excellent option for conducting analyses in social science studies (Cachón-Rodríguez et al, 2021 ) and is supported by published studies in the areas of economics, sociology, business and others (Schnelbächer and Heidenreich, 2020 ). This is not only evidence of the exponential increase in the use of PLS-SEM in research articles, but also of the introduction of PLS-SEM as one of the main methods of analysis in statistical analysis books (Cepeda-Carrión et al, 2022 ). In the case of novel studies, Hair et al ( 2019 ) advise using PLS-SEM, since its analysis allows a more sensitive study of these experimental relationships.…”

Does the intensity of use of social media influence the economic sustainability of the university?

In the last decades the term sustainability has become indispensable for society, governments and companies. Its correct implementation is of utmost importance, and therefore public institutions continuously promote the actions of sustainable development. During the pandemic, universities adapted to online teaching, using different platforms or even social media. The intensity of social media use has had positive and negative impacts. Several studies have linked the use of social media to sustainable development. Therefore, this study analyses the intensity of social media use in public universities and the relationship between the three dimensions of sustainability. To achieve the objectives set out, a sample of 447 users was used, and the data was analysed based on PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling). Variance-based SEM is a methodological option to carry out analyses that measure the simultaneous behaviour of dependence relationships. The results have shown that the intensity of the use of social media and the economic sustainability of universities is weak, even if it is positive. Furthermore, there is a strong and positive relationship between the three dimensions of sustainability at the university level. This study contributes to the academic literature on the subject and highlights the critical role of higher education institutions in promoting sustainability.

“…At the same time, review articles have emerged on how researchers in business and other disciplines have applied the method including, for example, agriculture, engineering, environmental sciences, ecology, geography, linguistics, human resources management, entrepreneurship, sports management, and psychology (e.g. Manley et al ., 2021; Legate et al ., 2022; Sarstedt et al ., 2014; Ali et al ., 2018; Willaby et al ., 2015; Cepeda-Carrión et al. , 2022; Hair and Alamer, 2022).…”

PurposeExpanded awareness and application of recent PLS-SEM reporting practices were again called for by Hair (2022) in his PLS 2022 Keynote Address. This paper aims to analyze and extend the application of PLS-SEM in Industrial Management and Data Systems (IMDS) to focus on trends emerging in the more recent 2016–2022 period.Design/methodology/approachA review of PLS-SEM applications in information systems studies published in IMDS and MISQ for the period 2012–2022 identifies and comments on a total of 135 articles. Selected emerging advanced analytical PLS-SEM applications are also highlighted to expand awareness of their value in more rigorously evaluating model results.FindingsThere is a continually increasing maturity of the information systems field in applying PLS-SEM, particularly for IMDS authors. Model complexity and improved prediction assessment as well as other advanced analytical options are increasingly identified as reasons for applying PLS-SEM.Research limitations/implicationsFindings demonstrate the continued use and acceptance of PLS-SEM as a useful alternative research methodology within IS. PLS-SEM is the preferred SEM method in many research settings, but particularly when the research objective is prediction to the population, mediation and mediated moderation, formative constructs are specified, constructs must be modeled as higher-order and for competing model comparisons.Practical implicationsThis update on PLS-SEM applications and recent methodological developments will help authors to better understand and apply the method, as well as publish their work. Researchers are encouraged to engage in more complete analyses and include enhanced reporting procedures.Originality/valueApplications of PLS-SEM for prediction, theory testing and confirmation are increasing. Information systems scholars should continue to exercise sound practice by reporting reasons for using PLS-SEM and recognizing its wider applicability for both exploratory and confirmatory research.
