Our colleague, Prof. Dr. Josip Mikulić, has published a paper in the prestigious journal Tourism Management (Impact Factor: 10.9, CiteScore: 24.1) titled "Choosing the right fit: A practical guide to selecting measurement models for tourism constructs."
The paper focuses on filling a gap in the literature by addressing the fundamental question: what is the purpose of the scale we are developing or using? By considering this question, researchers can make informed decisions about the most suitable measurement model. The article offers practical guidelines for avoiding common pitfalls in scale development. This framework is useful for both early-career researchers, who are new to modeling latent variables, and experienced researchers looking to refine their approach to scale development and construct operationalization.
