ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍøt SEM
Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with latent variables has become one of the widely used techniques to examine complex research models in business and social research. Recently SEM using AMOS (user friendly s/w) has gained popularity in different fields of research and in practice viz. psychology, healthcare, social sciences, market research, information systems research and organizational research. Multivariate techniques like multiple regression, factor analysis, discriminant analysis, multivariate analysis of variance etc. can examine only a single relationship at a time.
To explain complex causal relationship like the one shown above, where there is series of dependent-independent relationship, none of the above mentioned multivariate techniques can be applied. But Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) enables us to examine series of dependent-independent relationships simultaneously. It is particularly useful in testing theories that contain multiple equations involving dependence relationships, where a hypothesized dependent variable becomes an independent variable in a subsequent dependence relationship.
