Hello Dr. Fawad I like your lectures, they are like fresh water. I am conducting a study using PLS SEM on SmartPLS, The model is good in most reliability and validity criteria. But the composite reliability rho c values for two constructs is 0.95 and 0.953. I read in a paper by Hair et al, 2018 and other papers that this is problematic. I couldn't delete more indicators because I have deleted about 30% of indicators before. Is this a serious problem that disqualifies the use of these constructs in the model? Thank you

Thanks for watching. 0.95 is the maximum limit. You can go ahead.

[@enyewmulu5803]

@@researchwithfawad is the one with 0.953 also acceptable?
