An assessment of the use of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in hospitality research (2017, background): “…systems, marketing, and strategic management often builds on very small sample sizes, which has frequently been criticized (Hair et al., 2012a; Hair et al., 2012b; Ringle et al., 2012), we positively note that none of the studies reviewed in hospitality research uses less than 100 observations.”
