Organizations are multilevel systems. Most organizational phenomena are multilevel in nature, and their understanding involves variables (e.g., antecedents and consequences) that reside at different levels. The investigation of these phenomena requires appropriate analytical methods: multilevel modeling. These techniques are becoming increasingly popular among organizational psychology and organizational behavior (OPOB) researchers. In this article we review the literature that has evaluated the performance of multilevel modeling techniques to test multilevel direct and indirect effects and cross-level interactions. We also provide guidelines for OPOB researchers about the appropriate use of these techniques, and we suggest ways these techniques can contribute to theoretical advancement and research development in OPOB.

多层建模:为实质性研究人员提供的基于研究的课程
组织是多层系统。大多数组织现象本质上都是多层次的,它们的理解涉及不同层次的变量(例如,前因和后果)。对这些现象的研究需要适当的分析方法:多级建模。这些技术在组织心理学和组织行为(OPOB)研究人员中越来越受欢迎。在本文中,我们回顾了评估多层建模技术以测试多层直接和间接效果以及跨层交互的性能的文献。我们还为OPOB研究人员提供了有关适当使用这些技术的指南,并建议了这些技术可以为OPOB的理论发展和研究发展做出贡献的方式。
