Hello there!
We have done a literature review of three constructs. To keep things simple, I'll refer to them as A, B, and C.
Now, the literature supports the following relationships (please see the attached diagram):
However, there is nothing in the literature that is a common thread to constructs A, B, and C.
Intuitively, I feel that there is a common underlying phenomenon that connects A, B, and C, however, I am not getting any support for this in the systems analysis literature.
Can you help me with some evidence, from a systems analysis perspective, that in the given situation, there is likely to be an underlying phenomenon?
Check for methods that can take into account of non-recursive or circular relationship. Peterson (2020) use CB-SEM and PLS-SEM together to analyze a non-recursive relationship. The following articles may give you some leads.

Thank you, Professor Moorthy! That's a big help! Sure, I'll check out these articles. Regards.
