How do we know that you set up the LISREL code to be parallel to the Regressions and PROCESS analyses?
Verbal descriptions of what did and did not work are not typically useful in isolating discrepancies.
Maybe you should attach your outputs?

Dear all

I would ask for a problem that I encountered in my analyses.
I used SPSS to test the following longitudinal hypothesis:

Organizational Identification T1 --> (increase) Social Support --> (decrease)
Burnout T2

I controlled for Burnout T1, while Social Support is the standardized score
residual obtained by regressing Social Support T2 on Social Support T1.

I performed this analysis and I found a significant effect of Social Support
on Burnout T2. I performed these analyses using both SPSS (hierarchical
multiple regression analysis) and PROCESS macro by Hayes (2012).

Hovewer, I tried to confirm my hypothesis also using SEM (Lisrel; full
model),
but when I use SEM the path from Social Support to Burnout T2 was strongly not
significant.

How is this possible?
What could be the explanation?

Thank you very much,

Lorenzo
