Structural equation modelling provides the estimates of the parameters and their statistical significant and also the R-sqaured value for each depdent variable used in the model. apart from this, we can get the model fit indicators.
my question is how we can establish causal relationship between the constructs with help of the above mentioned statistical results.
thanks in advance

Dear by applying SEM through Amos you will not get any Alpha value. But it will give you Beta values for the variables in the study. The causal model will look like as:
Y=b1x1+b2x2+................bzxz+e
Dear Srikanth,
I suggest that you follow these three valuable references about using goodness-of-fit index (GoF) and relative goodness-of-fit index (GoFrel) for model validation in CB-SEM:
