*4.1. Overall Model: Test of Goodness-of-Fit (GoF)*

Following Henseler et al. [73], since our research has a confirmatory purpose, we began the analysis of the estimated model using PLS-SEM to test various measures of overall goodness of fit (Gof). Table 4 shows the results of these tests.



Standardized root mean square residual (SRMR). Unweighted least squares discrepancy (dULS). Geodesic discrepancy (dG).

In the first place, the standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) index shows a value of 0.08, which is at the limit proposed by Hu and Bentler [72,73]. In addition, we performed several model fit tests (SRMR, dULS, dG) using bootstrap-based inference statistics. Table 4 shows how under the bootstrap-based 99% (HI99) percentile, the discrepancy between the empirical and the model-implied correlation matrix is not significant [74]. Therefore, in view of the findings, it is possible to state that the model's general goodness of fit is successful [75].
