CONTENTS 

The analysis of mediation processes is a core topic to answer many research questions. It looks beyond the simple consideration of direct effects which goes often hand in hand with the oversimplification of reality. A mediation analysis informs a researcher and practician about a process improve or hinder the interrelationship between an independent and dependent construct as an intervening construct. Whereas, a moderator analysis is used to investigate whether the relationship between two constructs depends on the value of a third construct. Conditional mediation analysis integrates mediation and moderation analyses to examine how mediation effects vary as a function of context, boundaries, or individual differences. This workshop introduces a state-of-the art approach for performing mediation, moderation, and conditional (moderated) mediation analysis in PLS-SEM. After a general introduction about mediation and moderation analyses, the workshop gives guidelines to perform a mediation and moderation analysis in PLS-SEM. Finally, the most advanced issue which combines moderation and mediation in a conditional mediation analysis is illustrated.
