Abstract

ABSTRACT Cognitive complexity represents the extent to which individuals cognitively structure and process their environment in a multidimensional manner. Despite over 60 years of research, gaps remain in our understanding of the construct. In this meta-analytic review (k = 74, n = 18,973), we addressed a set of research questions regarding the nomological network surrounding cognitive complexity as well as the incremental validity and relative weight of cognitive complexity over traditional predictors of job outcomes. Cognitive complexity exhibited moderate correlations with constructs like cognitive ability (ρ = .19) and task complexity (ρ = − .18), but performed poorly in relative weights and incremental validity analyses. Given our findings, we suggest provide avenues for future research to explore and present a measure of cognitive complexity to advance the literature.

重新引入认知复杂性：元分析和未来研究议程

摘要认知复杂性代表个体以多维方式对环境进行认知结构和处理的程度。尽管经过60多年的研究，我们对这种结构的理解仍然存在差距。在这篇元分析综述中（k=74，n=18973），我们解决了一组关于认知复杂性的法理网络的研究问题，以及认知复杂性相对于传统工作结果预测因子的增量有效性和相对权重。认知复杂性与认知能力（ρ=.19）和任务复杂性（ρ=−.18）等结构表现出适度的相关性，但在相对权重和增量有效性分析中表现不佳。鉴于我们的发现，我们建议为未来的研究提供途径，以探索和提出认知复杂性的衡量标准，从而推动文献的发展。

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.
