Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigated whether the items on commonly used scales measuring task performance, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), counterproductive work behavior (CWB), and work withdrawal were judged to represent alternative behaviors. We first found that each scale contained items that were judged (by three independent samples) to represent an alternative construct. Importantly, we empirically verified these suggested scale revisions with an independent sample of multi-source behavioral ratings that showed model fit improvements and factor loading increases when items were moved to the suggested scales. We also found that, compared to the original scales, revised scales measuring task performance and OCB showed (a) more trait variance; (b) improved reliability; (c) lower mean levels; and (d) weaker correlations with nomological correlates.

我们在衡量什么？衡量任务绩效、组织公民、反生产和退出行为的项目评估

摘要本研究调查了衡量任务绩效、组织公民行为（OCB）、反作用工作行为（CWB）和工作退出的常用量表中的项目是否被判断为代表替代行为。我们首先发现，每个量表都包含（通过三个独立样本）判断为代表替代结构的项目。重要的是，我们用多源行为评级的独立样本实证验证了这些建议的量表修订，该样本显示，当项目移动到建议量表时，模型拟合得到改善，因子负荷增加。我们还发现，与原始量表相比，测量任务表现和OCB的修订量表显示（a）更多的特质方差；（b）提高可靠性；（c）较低的平均水平；以及（d）与法理相关性较弱的相关性。

期刊介绍： Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
