GSCA-SEM (generalized structured component analysis structural equation modelling) is an umbrella term that includes three SEM methods—GSCA, GSCA M , and IGSCA—for estimating models with components only, with factors only, or with both factors and components, respectively. GSCA-SEM is highly versatile in accommodating the two statistical representations of constructs. GSCA Pro is a stand-alone software program for GSCA-SEM. The software can be freely downloaded from its website (www.gscapro.com). It provides a graphical user interface that allows users to draw their model as a path diagram easily, fit GSCA-SEM to the model, and obtain results.
This workshop begins by explaining the conceptual foundations of GSCA-SEM, focusing on model specification and evaluation. It then provides step-by-step illustrations of using the free software for various GSCA-SEM applications.
