Abstract

Despite recognition of the harmful effects of common method bias (CMB), its causes, consequences, and remedies are still not well understood. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review our current knowledge of CMB and provide recommendations on how to control it. We organize our review into five main sections. First, we explain the harmful effects of CMB (why it is bad). Second, we discuss the complexity caused by the fact that there are multiple sources of CMB, several of which are likely to be present in any study. Third, we present evidence that the conditions under which CMB is likely to occur are relatively widespread, and fourth, we explain why CMB is not easy to fix. Finally, we identify several avenues for future research.Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior, Volume 11 is January 2024.

常见方法偏差:它很糟糕，很复杂，很普遍，而且不容易解决

尽管认识到共同方法偏差(CMB)的有害影响，但其原因、后果和补救措施仍未得到很好的理解。因此，本文的目的是回顾我们目前对CMB的了解，并就如何控制CMB提供建议。我们将我们的评论分为五个主要部分。首先，我们解释了CMB的有害影响(为什么它不好)。其次，我们讨论了CMB有多种来源这一事实所造成的复杂性，其中一些可能存在于任何研究中。第三，我们提供的证据表明，CMB可能发生的条件相对普遍，第四，我们解释了为什么CMB不容易修复。最后，我们确定了未来研究的几个途径。《组织心理学和组织行为年度评论》第11卷的最终在线出版日期预计为2024年1月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。
