-

The School of Commerce, Finance and Accountancy, and the School of Business and Management organized an online research workshop on 'Structural Equation Modelling Using Amos' on 20th March 2021 in CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Pune Lavasa Campus.


About the Workshop

In management research, theory development and theory testing are widely used practices. Methodologists have developed structural equation modeling techniques by integrating the features of multiple regression and factor analysis. Theory testing or theory confirmation is the process of testing the proposed theoretical model with the data. In SEM the model fit values are used as a criterion to assess the fit of the data with the theoretical model. In the recent literature, in most of the cases, researchers have used a structural equation modeling approach to test their theories.

Dr P Murugan has worked as a Data Analyst at the Australian Council for Educational Research, New Delhi, and the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli.
