Substantive and operational issues of response bias across levels of analysis: an example of climate-satisfaction relationships.

摘要: Two studies tested whether method variance is present at multiple levels of analysis and methodological procedures can minimize its impact. In Study 1, 8,052 employees from 71 hotels completed measures climate, work environment characteristics, satisfaction. A comparison correlations the individual level, cross-level, cross-level split, aggregate aggregate-split level revealed that response bias was across levels. Results suggest samples should be split in half when are computed to ameliorate problems arise individual-level variance. 2, results indicated temporal spacing climate satisfaction influenced bias. Implications recommendations for future research discussed.
