Hello Dear Researchers,
Actually, I need to find a free and comprehensive reference, in order to learn all steps of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis theoretically, practically and exactly in SmartPLS, by studying it. Could you suggest me a good reference like this (book, paper and so on), based on your experiences. Thank you so much.
Best regards,
Mosayeb Dashtpeyma
Hi Mosayeb,
Have you come across James Gaskin's YouTube channel? You might find it useful: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOMWLcopuV4xj8U3dePhVlQ

I hope this helps.
Hello Mosayeb,
A very good and readable text is the one by Hair, Hult, Ringle, & Sarstedt (2016), A primer on partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) (2nd ed.). Los Angeles, CA: Sage Publications. Their examples use the Smart PLS program, so this is a good one from which to learn.
Good luck with your work.
I have used two books as basic literature for SmartPLS:
1) Vinzi, V. E., Chin, W. W., Henseler, J., & Wang, H. (Eds.). (2010). Handbook of Partial Least Squares. Berlin: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-32827-8
and
2) Hair, J. F., Hult, G. T. M., Ringle, C., & Sarstedt, M. (2014). A primer on partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Thousand Oaks: Sage.
Attached are the pdf files.
Hair et. al (2014) is not the most recent edition, but better than nothing...
Sorry for some marked excerpts, but it's my way of studying ... I'm a very visual person.
Hope this can help.
