I read different articles but still cannot understand the idea.
Hello Shagufta,
Both programs may be used to answer such questions. The choice of which to use may depend on the complexity of the model you wish to evaluate, and whether you have access to just IBM SPSS or SAS (to which Andrew Hayes' PROCESS macro may be added) or IBM SPSS and the AMOS add-on module.
Please note that there are plenty of threads in RG asking questions such as, "Can I use 4 moderators in PROCESS?" AMOS (or any other SEM program, such as EQS, Lavaan in R, OpenMx in R, LISREL, CALIS in SAS) can more easily accommodate complex models, in my opinion.
Here's a youtube video that shows how to elicit a specific model with either PROCESS or AMOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJuZJYdwP1I
I'm sure there are others as well.
Finally, here is a prior RG thread that is pertinent: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Are_there_limitations_when_using_AMOS_or_the_PROCESS_macro_for_SPSS_to_test_for_moderation
Good luck with your work!
Thank you David and Young. It will help me a lot.
Have a good day.

Both methods depend on your variable constraints. Usually Hayes process macro are resilient to constraints that are quite difficult in AMOS.
The attached template can be helpful to you.
