Abstract
Criteria for evaluating structural equation models with latent variables are defined, critiqued, and illustrated. An overall program for model evaluation is proposed based upon an interpretation of converging and diverging evidence. Model assessment is considered to be a complex process mixing statistical criteria with philosophical, historical, and theoretical elements. Inevitably the process entails some attempt at a reconcilation between so-called objective and subjective norms.

Implementing the Marketing Concept at the Employee–Customer Interface: The Role of Customer Need Knowledge

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of "customer need knowledge" (CNK), which describes the extent to which a frontline employee can accurately identify a given customer's hierarchy of needs.

A Measure of Export Market Orientation: Scale Development and Cross-cultural Validation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the construction and psychometric assessment of a measure of export market orientation based on four multi-item scales developed showing strong evidence of reliability and convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity in samples of U.K. and Dutch exporters.

Age, gender and income: do they really moderate online shopping behaviour?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse whether individuals' socioeconomic characteristics (age, gender and income) influence their online shopping behavior and find that socioeconomic variables moderate neither the influence of previous use of the internet nor the perceptions of ecommerce; in short, they do not condition the behaviour of the experienced e-shopper.

Face consciousness and risk aversion: Do they affect consumer decision‐making?

TL;DR: The authors explored the effects of two cultural dimensions, face consciousness and risk aversion, on consumers' decision-making styles and found that consumers in the United States differ from their counterparts in China in decision making styles.

A new look at the statistical model identification

TL;DR: In this article, a new estimate minimum information theoretical criterion estimate (MAICE) is introduced for the purpose of statistical identification, which is free from the ambiguities inherent in the application of conventional hypothesis testing procedure.

Estimating the Dimension of a Model

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of selecting one of a number of models of different dimensions is treated by finding its Bayes solution, and evaluating the leading terms of its asymptotic expansion.

Significance tests and goodness of fit in the analysis of covariance structures

TL;DR: In this article, a general null model based on modified independence among variables is proposed to provide an additional reference point for the statistical and scientific evaluation of covariance structure models, and the importance of supplementing statistical evaluation with incremental fit indices associated with the comparison of hierarchical models.
