The article presents a guide for the use of structural equation modeling (SEM) methods in scholarly writing. The author discusses the advantages of SEM, then describes how to choose an SEM technique. Several selection criteria are covered including exploratory and confirmative research objectives, lack of a robust theory base, a desire to avoid bias in estimations, and formative scales in the research model. Also provided is a discussion of the minimal statistics that should be presented in order to allow readers to evaluate conclusions an author draws from data.
