OHN P. MEYER and NATALIEJ. ALLEN Commitment in The Workplace: Theory, Research, and Application
OHN P. MEYER and NATALIEJ. ALLEN Commitment in The Workplace: Theory, Research, and Application
adopted as a kind of pre study checklist for any anticipated structural equation analysis.
In summary, both books make important contributions, but they will be best used by different individuals.
For the researcher with no experience in structural
equation modeling and no familiarity with structural
equation software, the book by Kelloway is an ideal
starting point. It promises a clear and concise overview
of the structural equation model and the use of LISREL
software. On the other hand, Kline's book is an invaluable resource for individuals wishing to develop skills
in SEM but who already have some understanding of the
technique and structural equation software. This book
is not designed to get researchers doing structural
equation modeling quickly, but to get researchers
doing structural equation modeling well.
