Partial least squares (PLS), a path modeling analytical approach was chosen for
data analysis. The minimum sample size requirement recommended by Cohen (1988) and Barclay et al. (1995) should be ten times the largest number of reflective indicators or structured paths directed to a reflective construct used in the model (Chin, 1998). In this study, the largest number of paths directed to a construct was 15 for the PSQ construct; thus, the minimum sample size required was 150 cases. However, a sample size as small as 50 cases can be used to conduct PLS analysis, while Hair et al. (2010) suggest that a sample size of 200 is an appropriate size with which to test a PLS model.
