We chose variance-based structural equation modeling using SmartPLS software (Ringle, Wende, and Will 2005) because it "avoids many of the assumptions and chances that improper solutions will occur in LISREL analyses" (Bagozzi, Yi, and Singh 1991, p. 125). Because it tends to underestimate path coefficients compared with LISREL (Dijkstra 1983), variance-based structural equation modeling produces a conservative test of the substantive relationships.
