Abstract

Repeated measurement designs have been growing in popularity in the fields of Organizational Behavior and Work and Organizational Psychology. This brings up questions regarding the appropriateness of time-lag choices and validity of justification used to make time-lag decisions in the current literature. We start by explaining how time-lag choices are typically made and explain issues associated with these approaches. Next, we provide some insights into how an optimal time-lag decision should be made and the importance of time-sensitive theory building in helping guide these decisions. Finally, we end with some brief suggestions as to how authors can move forward by urging them to explicitly address temporal dynamics in their research, and by advocating for descriptive studies with short time-lags, which are needed to uncover how the changes happen over time.

从小事做起,不要随意:为什么证明你的时差很重要?
重复测量设计在组织行为学、工作学和组织心理学领域越来越受欢迎。这就提出了关于当前文献中用于做出时滞决定的时滞选择的适当性和正当性的问题。我们首先解释如何做出典型的时滞选择,并解释与这些方法相关的问题。接下来,我们提供了一些关于如何做出最佳时滞决策的见解,以及时间敏感理论构建在帮助指导这些决策中的重要性。最后,我们提出了一些简短的建议,关于作者如何在研究中明确解决时间动态问题,以及通过提倡短时间滞后的描述性研究来揭示变化是如何随时间发生的,从而向前发展。
