Below is my partial code for a measurement model that includes formative indicators. It runs and the fit indices are very strong.

When I add the code for the structural model (not shown here) very few variables are significant. Can you offer any help please? There would be 6 IVs and 2 DVs.

MODEL:
BRM BY; ! define the formative factor
BRM ON y24@1 y25 y26 y27 y28;
BRM@0;
y30 ON BRM; ! linked to variable y30 to scale formative factor
ICT BY; ! define the formative factor
ICT ON y12@1 y13 y14 Y15;
ICT@0;
y17 ON ICT; ! linked to variable y17 to scale formative factor
Road BY; ! define the formative factor
Road ON y18@1 y19 y20 Y21;
Road@0;
y23 ON Road; ! linked to variable y23 to scale formative factor
PostV BY; ! define the formative factor
PostV ON y37@1 y38 y39;
PostV@0;
y41 ON PostV; ! linked to variable y41 to scale formative factor
