Model specification multilevel analysis with gsem in stata

Job ID: 31336174

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

My model includes Level 1 (individual) and Level 2 (team) variables. Initially, the goal is to explore the determinants of innovative work behavior at the individual level, which is why I ran a multilevel analysis in Stata. The second part of the research has as dependent variables two types of innovation at the team level(exploratory and exploitative innovation).

Wanting to run an overall model I used the gsem in the stata 14. I understand that the second part of the research does not require multilevel analysis since my dependent variables are at the upper level (level 2). In order to connect the two strands of research I aggregate innovative work behaviour to the team level (after checking for rwg, ICC1,ICC2). But is this correct ? In other words, beyond aggregation how can I regress exploratory and exploitative innovation from a level 1 variable here employee's innovative work behaviour.

PS My sample consists of 299 employees nested within 103 groups.
