The project

This project contains the sample technology acceptance model (TAM; Davis et al., 1989) for partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The data (1,190 observations) is taken from Saudi Arabia (Anderson et al., 2011). The articles by Al-Gahtani et al. (2007), Al-Gahtani & Shih (2009), and Anderson et al. (2011) describe in detail the data used and the PLS path model with its specific indicators.
