Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the challenges in using structural equation modelling (SEM) in tourism research in Iran. The paper examines how Iranian scholars have used the technique, using a sample of 172 papers published in the top five tourism journals published in Farsi (i.e., Persian). The results indicate that often there is a lack of discussion as to sample size, issues of normality of distribution, effect analysis, the role of coefficients of determination, and additionally selective and arbitrary reporting of fit indices are not uncommon. The paper also emphasises the role of theory in constructing such models.
