constructs\u2014for example, when examining how human resource management practices influence employee satisfaction and commitment, which in turn may affect performance.<\/p><p>In recent years, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) has gained increasing attention due to its strengths in prediction-oriented research, its ability to handle complex models, and its flexibility with respect to data characteristics. PLS-SEM can be implemented in a range of software packages, with SmartPLS widely regarded as an industry standard owing to its rich functionality and ease of use.<\/p><p>This session provides a concise, practice-oriented introduction to PLS-SEM, with a particular focus on its implementation using SmartPLS 4. It begins with a brief conceptual overview of PLS-SEM and its role in social science research. Building on this foundation, the seminar introduces the key steps of a typical PLS-SEM analysis before moving to a hands-on demonstration using SmartPLS 4. Drawing on a simple empirical example, the session illustrates how models can be specified, estimated, and interpreted in an intuitive and accessible manner, thereby lowering the barriers to getting started with the method.<\/p><p>The session concludes with a critical reflection on the appropriate use of PLS-SEM, highlighting its strengths, limitations, and suitable research contexts. It also provides an overview of available support materials.<\/p><p>Overall, the seminar aims to offer an accessible entry point into PLS-SEM and SmartPLS, equipping participants with practical guidance and the confidence to apply the method in their own research<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider wavo-column-gap-default elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-03b2940 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"03b2940\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b4904c0\" data-id=\"b4904c0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1177c9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1177c9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"753\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hkmu.edu.hk\/sol\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/05\/Foto_SDU2025-1-753x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hkmu.edu.hk\/sol\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/05\/Foto_SDU2025-1-753x1024.jpg 753w, https:\/\/www.hkmu.edu.hk\/sol\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/05\/Foto_SDU2025-1-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/www.hkmu.edu.hk\/sol\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/05\/Foto_SDU2025-1-768x1045.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hkmu.edu.hk\/sol\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2026\/05\/Foto_SDU2025-1.jpg 874w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 753px) 100vw, 753px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f76c151\" data-id=\"f76c151\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1321db wavo-transform transform-type-translate elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f1321db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Speaker<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a851a8 wavo-transform transform-type-translate elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a851a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Nicole Franziska Richter<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b67e21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b67e21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Nicole Franziska Richter is a Full Professor of International Management at the University of Southern Denmark.
