Mixed-Keying or Desirability-Matching in the Construction of Forced-Choice Measures? An Empirical Investigation and Practical Recommendations Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2024-02-15 Mengtong Li, Bo Zhang, Lingyue Li, Tianjun Sun, Anna Brown
Forced-choice (FC) measures are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to single-statement (SS) measures. However, to ensure the practical usefulness of an FC measure, it is crucial to address the tension between psychometric properties and faking resistance by balancing mixed keying and social desirability matching. It is currently unknown from an empirical perspective whether the two design

Building a Bigger Toolbox: The Construct Validity of Existing and Proposed Measures of Careless Responding to Cognitive Ability Tests Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2024-02-14 Mark C. Ramsey, Nathan A. Bowling
Employers commonly use cognitive ability tests in the personnel selection process. Although ability tests are excellent predictors of job performance, their validity may be compromised when test takers engage in careless responding. It is thus important for researchers to have access to effective careless responding measures, which allow researchers to screen for careless responding and to evaluate

From Textual Data to Theoretical Insights: Introducing and Applying the Word-Text-Topic Extraction Approach Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2024-01-31 Jaewoo Jung, Wenjun Zhou, Anne D. Smith
Text analysis, particularly custom dictionaries and topic modeling, has helped advance management and organization theory. Custom dictionaries involve creating word lists to quantify patterns and infer constructs, while topic modeling extracts themes from textual documents to help understand a theoretical domain. Building on these two approaches, we propose another text analysis approach called word-text-topic

Confounding Effects of Insufficient Effort Responding Across Survey Sources: The Case of Personality Predicting Performance Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2024-01-23 Jason L. Huang, Nathan A. Bowling, Benjamin D. McLarty, Donald H. Kluemper, Zhonghao Wang
Insufficient effort responding (IER) to surveys, which occurs when participants provide responses in a haphazard, careless, or random fashion, has been identified as a threat to data quality in survey research because it can inflate observed relationships between self-reported measures. Building on this discovery, we propose two mechanisms that lead to IER exerting an unexpected confounding effect

Five Is the Brightest Star. But by how Much? Testing the Equidistance of Star Ratings in Online Reviews Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2024-01-09 Balázs Kovács
Organizational research increasingly relies on online review data to gauge perceived valuation and reputation of organizations and products. Online review platforms typically collect ordinal ratings (e.g., 1 to 5 stars); however, researchers often treat them as a cardinal data, calculating aggregate statistics such as the average, the median, or the variance of ratings. In calculating these statistics

Models that combine moderation and mediation are increasingly common. One such model is that in which one variable causes another variable that, in turn, moderates the relationship between two other variables. There are many recent examples of these Endogenous Moderator Models (EMMs). They bear little superficial resemblance to second-stage moderation models, and they are almost never conceptualized

The study of measurement equivalence has important implications for organizational research. Nonequivalence across groups or over time can affect the results of a study and the conclusions that are drawn from it. As a result, the review paper by Vandenberg & Lance (2000) has been highly cited and has played an important role in understanding the measurement of organizational constructs. However, that

Inflection points, kinks, and jumps identify places where the relationship between dependent and independent variables switches in some important way. Although these switch points are often mentioned in management research, their presence in the data is either ignored, or postulated ad hoc by testing arbitrarily specified functional forms (e.g., U or inverted U-shaped relationships). This is problematic

This study explores how researchers in the organizational sciences use and/or cite methodological ‘best practice’ (BP) articles. Namely, are scholars adhering fully to the prescribed practices they cite, or are they cherry picking from recommended practices without disclosing? Or worse yet, are scholars inaccurately following the methodological best practices they cite? To answer these questions, we

This article contributes to the practice of coding in meta-analyses by offering direction and advice for experienced and novice meta-analysts on the “how” of coding. The coding process, the invisible architecture of any meta-analysis, has received comparably little attention in methodological resources, leaving the research community with insufficient guidance on “how” it should be rigorously planned

Interaction Effects in Cross-Lagged Panel Models: SEM with Latent Interactions Applied to Work-Family Conflict, Job Satisfaction, and Gender Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2021-11-29 Ozlem Ozkok, Manuel J. Vaulont, Michael J. Zyphur, Zhen Zhang, Kristopher J. Preacher, Peter Koval, Yixia Zheng
Researchers often combine longitudinal panel data analysis with tests of interactions (i.e., moderation). A popular example is the cross-lagged panel model (CLPM). However, interaction tests in CLPMs and related models require caution because stable (i.e., between-level, B) and dynamic (i.e., within-level, W) sources of variation are present in longitudinal data, which can conflate estimates of interaction

Dalal, Shannon W. Schrader, Kevin Loo, Isaac E. Sabat, Balca Alaybek, You Zhou, Chelsea Jones, Shea Fyffe
Policy capturing is a widely used technique, but the temporal stability of policy-capturing judgments has long been a cause for concern. This article emphasizes the importance of reporting reliability, and in particular test-retest reliability, estimates in policy-capturing studies. We found that only 164 of 955 policy-capturing studies (i.e., 17.17%) reported a test-retest reliability estimate. We

Extant research in organizational networks has provided critical insights into understanding the benefits of occupying a brokerage position.

A Robust Bootstrap Test for Mediation Analysis Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2021-04-12 Andreas Alfons, Nüfer Yasin Ateş, Patrick J. F. Groenen
Mediation analysis is central to theory building and testing in organizational sciences. Scholars often use linear regression analysis based on normal-theory maximum likelihood estimators to test mediation. However, these estimators are very sensitive to deviations from normality assumptions, such as outliers, heavy tails, or skewness of the observed distribution. This sensitivity seriously threatens

Long-Run Effects in Dynamic Systems: New Tools for Cross-Lagged Panel Models Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2021-03-19 Ali Shamsollahi, Michael J. Zyphur, Ozlem Ozkok
Cross-lagged panel models (CLPMs) are common, but their applications often focus on “short-run” effects among temporally proximal observations. This addresses questions about how dynamic systems may immediately respond to interventions, but fails to show how systems evolve over longer timeframes. We explore three types of “long-run” effects in dynamic systems that extend recent work on “impulse responses

On the Use of Balanced Item Parceling to Counter Acquiescence Bias in Structural Equation Models Organ. Res. Methods (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2021-02-15 Bert Weijters, Hans Baumgartner
We propose the use of balanced item parcels to account for method effects caused by acquiescent responding. The use of balanced parcels avoids the need to model method effects explicitly and results in a parsimonious specification of measurement and full structural equation models in the presence of unwanted method effects, particularly when a scale consists of a relatively large number of items.

This Short Methodological Report builds on research about moderation practices by focusing on a marginal effects approach to interpreting how a main effect is informed by the presence of a moderating variable. Following a content analysis of published studies and a survey of management researchers, our findings suggest there is a great deal of confusion about the ways in which to interpret how a main
