47-3.  To Group or Not To Group Your Employee Opinion Survey

To help better understand the effects of survey design on data quality, 2 field studies were conducted comparing 2 different designs: randomly presented items and items grouped by construct. Analyses show potential impact on the psychometric quality of the data from both methods but less concern with the grouped approach.

47-6.  A Comparison of Parceling Strategies in Structural Equation Modeling

The congeneric strategy of aggregating items into parcels was developed and compared to other commonly used parceling strategies (random, item-to-construct balance). Results from a Monte Carlo simulation indicate that the congeneric strategy has less error in estimating the structural coefficient and is more efficient than the item-to-construct balance strategy.

47-7.  Attitudes of Demongraphic Item Nonresponders in Employee Surveys

Demographic information is needed in employee surveys to generate reports for subgroups. Respondents who skip demographic items may do this on purpose, for example because they fear to become identified. The data of an organizational survey corroborate that commitment is negatively correlated with item nonresponse, with job satisfaction as a moderator.

47-8.  Cross-Level Assumptions of Invariance: Issues, Insights, and Implications

This paper demonstrates assumptions of cross-level measurement and structural invariance made when analyzing multilevel data. Cross-level measurement invariance is caused by performing single-level factor analyses and reliability analyses on multilevel data. Cross-level structural invariance is found in multilevel random coefficient models, which often impose structural invariance across levels of analysis.

47-9.  Psychometric Controversy Involving Job Performance Ratings

Murphy and DeShon (2000) argue that interrater correlations are not reliability coefficients and should not be used in corrections for attenuation, whereas Schmidt, Viswesvaran, and Ones (2000) argue the contrary position.  We investigate this controversy using a structural model of ratings and simulated data that varied interrater reliability and validity.

Despite the definitional and operational similarities between sexist behavior and gender discrimination, these 2 constructs have traditionally been assessed separately. The current study investigates the appropriateness of this practice using path analysis. The results indicate that the constructs have several similarities and differences in both antecedents and outcomes.

47-11.  Examining Context Effects in Organization Survey Data Using IRT

Organizational researchers often modify employee surveys over time. However, changes
to the survey form can introduce measurement artifacts, such as context effects, leading to differences in observed responses that are not due to true organizational change. This paper illustrates the use of IRT to identify context effects in organizational surveys.

This paper describes a multilevel logistic regression (MLR) approach (Reise, 2000) to studying faking. Item difficulty and trait estimates are used to predict the probability of endorsing an item in a MLR equation. Less negative slopes for item difficulty may indicate faking, and slope variance may be modeled using MLR.

The factor structure of the Error Orientation Questionnaire was examined using structural modeling in 2 samples (n = 290; n = 96). The factor structure originally reported did not fit the data well. A 4-factor model based in motivation theory improved fit. The theoretical basis for error orientation is discussed.

This study explores reactions and responses to open-ended questions on Web-based surveys. An experimental design is used to examine the effects of requiring participants to answer open-ended questions. Findings show that requiring these responses increases perceptions of item importance and the number of usable comments without increasing negative affective reactions.

47-20.  A Hierarchical Framing of Person–Work Environment Fit Constructs

We propose a hierarchical framing of person–work environment fit constructs based on the breadth of the attribute sets on which fit perceptions are based. Evidence supports the hypothesis that measures of FIT—the broadest construct—produces associations with staffing outcomes that are stronger than those for narrower fit constructs.

The current study illustrates the importance of testing cross-level homology assumptions. Within a single research context, homology may exist for only some relationships or analyses.  The results suggest that, when researchers fail to conduct tests of homology, the assumption that relationships can be generalized across levels is problematic.

The act frequency approach was used to develop a measure of work-related entitled behavior. Scale validation evidence was collected from student and working samples. Results suggest entitled behavior is empirically distinct from other self-interested work behaviors including deviance, withdrawal, and influence tactics. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.

Many scholars argue that a central construct in goal-based motivational frameworks is goal commitment. Correspondingly, several measures of goal commitment have been developed. However, there are considerable disagreements about how to measure goal commitment. This study used item response theory techniques to examine the psychometric properties of goal commitment measures.

47-29.  Brief Note on the r-to-z’ Transformation in Meta-Analysis
Some meta-analysts recommend the r-to-z’ transformation because it “normalizes” the sampling error variance of the correlation coefficient.  This brief note points out that high values of r require larger N for a stable r-to-z’ transformation; however, larger N also mitigates the skewness problem and obviates the need for the transformation.

The Perils of Accentuating the Positive

Riding the wave of “positive psychology,” a movement has crashed ashore that advocates a focus on maximizing strengths rather than addressing weaknesses in management development. But there are certain half-truths and hidden dangers in this seductively appealing philosophy. This session brings out these concerns and provides practitioners with research-based guidance.

The Role of the Self in Organizational Justice

Self-perceptions are an important lens through which employees experience fairness. The papers in this session reveal novel ways in which self-based variables—namely, moral identity, self-esteem, and self-identity as independent or as interdependent—moderate and mediate the effects of justice. Empirical data that support the hypothesized effects are presented.

Feedback discounting was introduced as a potential mediator of the relationships between important predictors (interactional justice and feedback valence) and outcomes (task performance and feedback use).  Those who perceived low interactional justice and received negative feedback discounted feedback more. Those likely to discount feedback were less likely to use feedback.

84-18.  Correlates of Bullying Victimization Using Self- and Peer Reports

Bullying research has focused on the perspective of the victim, thereby neglecting other perspectives.  This study used data from 182 employees–coworker pairs to show that individual differences and organizational attitudes were correlated with self-report data, but individual differences were not related to peer reports of bullying victimization.

84-19.  A Deontic Justice Framework for Understanding Self-Construal and Apology Processes

Research shows that apologies influence conflict outcomes.  However, little work has examined the effectiveness of apologies across cultures, genders, and ethnicities.  By utilizing a deontic justice framework, we propose a model wherein the congruence between a victim’s self-construal and an apology’s content determines the apology’s effectiveness in eliciting forgiveness.

We integrate findings from 2 studies that extend the literature on information sharing in teams. Results indicate that the repetition of other teammates’ unique information significantly improves decision quality. Also, information sharing may lead to the development of team member schema accuracy, which was positively related to decision quality.

103-17.  RIASEC Environments as Meta-Analytic Conscientiousness–Performance Moderators: Congruence Versus Situational Strength

The moderating effects of Holland’s RIASEC environments on the Conscientiousness–performance relationship were meta-analytically investigated to assess the extent to which they are consistent with “congruence” versus “situational strength” explanations. Results indicate that neither explanation, nor a recent juxtaposition of the 2 (trait activation theory), fully accounts for observed effects.

This study hypothesized and supported a model in which proactive individuals were more likely to set self-concordant goals, attain their goals, and satisfy their basic psychological needs.  Goal self-concordance and goal attainment also predicted psychological need satisfaction, which subsequently predicted job satisfaction, life satisfaction, in-role performance, and organizational citizenship behaviors.

The present meta-analysis investigates the impact of Big 5 personality factors on academic success. Results show that the influence depends on the success criterion. Although Neuroticism is related to academic satisfaction, Conscientiousness correlates with grades and likely with retention. Extraversion, Openness, and Agreeableness have no remarkable impact on academic success.

Results supported this assumption. Non-face-to-face communication reduced trust and related motivation and performance only when no commitment was expressed explicitly by collaboration partners.

118-24: Goal Regulation Across Time: The Effects of Feedback and Affect

2006 SIOP S. Rains Wallace Dissertation Research Award Poster

Two studies examined goal regulation with 6 samples of individuals who participated in a series of 8-trial task performance experiments. Multilevel analyses revealed that participants adjusted their goals, across trials, according to the performance feedback they received. In each sample, affective states mediated substantial proportions of the intraindividual feedback–goals relationship.
