Progress in partial least squares structural equation modeling use in marketing research in the last decade

Marko Sarstedt, Joseph F. Hair, Mandy Pick, Benjamin D. Liengaard, Lacramioara Radomir, Christian M. Ringle

Summary: This paper presents a new analysis of the use of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in marketing research, focusing on articles published between 2011 and 2020 in the top 30 marketing journals. The study finds that although researchers are more aware of the when's and how's of PLS-SEM use, there is still some delay in adopting the best practices for model evaluation. Recommendations for future PLS-SEM use, guidelines for its application, and areas of further research interest are provided based on the review results.

The effects of COVID-19 pandemic on perceived stress and psychobiosocial states in Italian athletes

Selenia di Fronso, Sergio Costa, Cristina Montesano, Francesco Di Gruttola, Edoardo Giorgio Ciofi, Luana Morgilli, Claudio Robazza, Maurizio Bertollo

Summary: This exploratory study examined the perceived stress and psychobiosocial states of Italian athletes during the COVID-19 crisis, revealing significant differences compared to data collected before the pandemic. The study found that the crisis increased athletes' stress levels and dysfunctional psychobiosocial states, while decreasing functional psychobiosocial states. Gender and competitive level were found to have significant effects on these factors. The study highlights the importance of implementing training regimens and healthy behaviors during pandemics, and the need for specific well-being protocols for women and novice athletes.

Coding Practices and Iterativity: Beyond Templates for Analyzing Qualitative Data

Karen Locke, Martha Feldman, Karen Golden-Biddle

Summary: Researchers often iterate in the analytic process, but how they engage in iteration to progress their theorizing is not well understood. This study examines iteration through coding in specific research projects, identifying key moments such as making codes, organizing to code, and putting patterns together. Tracing coding practices in exemplar articles reveals that iteration is not a fixed sequence, but rather depends on the specific analytic input needed for a given study.

Omitted Variable Bias: Examining Management Research With the Impact Threshold of a Confounding Variable (ITCV)

John R. Busenbark, Hyunjung (Elle) Yoon, Daniel L. Gamache, Michael C. Withers

Summary: Recent management research emphasizes the importance of considering omitted variables as a primary source of endogeneity bias in empirical estimation. Methodological scholarship advocates for the use of two-stage instrumental variable modeling, but researchers approach this recommendation with caution due to associated challenges. Studies utilizing the impact threshold of a confounding variable (ITCV) technique suggest that most causal inference is unlikely to be biased by omitted variables, with only the most pervasive ones impacting causal inference substantively.
