The question is a liitle bit fuzzy ! is it possible to combine a qualitative approach with SEM path analysis. if yes what are the best technical tools to use.
Do you want to do a mixed methods approach where you collect both qualitative and quantitative data? If so, one of the common ways of combining SEM with qualitative methods is known as a sequential explanatory design. This is based on a follow-up on the quantitative results with a smaller qualitative study (QUANT --> qual) to help understand the outcomes from the original project.
