Abstract

This manuscript details the different attributes associated with the problem of common-method variance. First, upon defining validity, we review the two primary ways by which scholars attempt to control for common-method variance, and in doing so discuss their merits. Second, we provide two alternative explanations that may also account for the appearance of disparate correlations, neither of which have to do with common-method variance. Finally, we offer a set of parsimonious solutions for the problem of common-method variance, namely CFA without correlated residuals or modeled method factors. Overall, the purpose of this manuscript is to provide guidance for organizational communication scholars when dealing with this problem.

重新考虑组织交流研究中的共同方法差异问题

本手稿详细介绍了与共同方法方差问题相关的不同属性。首先，在定义有效性后，我们回顾了学者们试图控制共同方法方差的两种主要方法，并讨论了它们的优点。其次，我们提供了两种替代解释，它们也可以解释差异相关性的出现，但都与共同方法方差无关。最后，我们为共同方法方差问题提供了一套简明的解决方案，即没有相关残差或建模方法因子的 CFA。总之，本手稿的目的是为组织传播学者在处理这一问题时提供指导。
