Cronbach Alpha Vs Composire Reliability ( CA vs CR)

Yesterday i got inbox message from a my FB friend asking me about can we still use cronbach alpha (CA) to report the validity is we used SEM PLS as our software ?????...

Very good question and very bad understanding... as what malay always mentioned that... Water can not be mixed with oil..... ha hah ha.. what happend to the water when we mixed with oil??? Does it will mixed??? Well.. as all noticeed about that.. the answer is can not...

Now i will explain why we can not report CA idf we use SEM PLS... and why we need to report the Composire reliability (CR)... jeng ... jeng ..jeng..

CA is to check our internal consistency when we used SPSS as a software for analysis our data... AND... WE MUST USE THE CR IF WE USE SEM either AMOS or PLS.. coz AMOS and PLS are the second generation of analysis and using CR to test it internal consistency... SO...

if use SPSS = use CA for validty and if use PLS  or AMOS = CR for its validity.... ha ha as simple as that.. everything is created for certain approach ... but not for all....

Have a nive day....
