Welcome to Introduction to Structural Equation Modelling (2026)
Description:
Research typically address topics such as “organizational culture”, “project success”, and “trust”. These concepts are latent variables or non-observable variables that cannot be directly measured with a single metric. Instead, they are indirectly measured using a set of indicators or manifest variables. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is one way to analyze such nonobservable variables and the relationships between them.
SEM is a very powerful tool in a variety of scenarios, such as:
1. When the research goal is to predict key constructs or to identify key constructs.
2. When the researcher has complex models that comprise many different constructs, indicators, and relationships.
3. When the research model is evaluated with secondary or archival data.
