In this session, we will be replicating the results of a study entitled "Young people's perceived service quality and environmental performance of hybrid electric bus service" by Munim and Noor (2020). You can access the article by clicking this DOI link. The idea of this session is to be familiar with how SEM results are presented in a publishable format.

The word cloud below summarises the participant's expectations about the SEM training. The data used to generate the plot is based on the participants' registration information.
