Abstract: Partial least square-structured equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is a widely accepted tool for statistical analysis in social science research. The complex architecture of PLS-SEM sometimes makes it difficult for users to understand the taxonomy, nomenclature, or process of statistical analysis. This research study proposes summarising the procedure adopted in PLS-SEM for data analysis. Measurement evaluation and structural model was the subject of discussion, with a focus on the statistical techniques employed. Furthermore, the threshold values corresponding to statistical tools under measurement and structural model were also provided. The inference of these threshold values were also discussed with an eye on improving researchers' awareness and understanding. The discussion about the methodology adopted in statistical analysis with the help of PLS-SEM is also reported. Finally, the limitations of the research work were presented, and further study directions were streamlined.
