Existing models have overly restrictive statistical assumptions that do not identify all types of careless respondents. The current paper presents a novel constrained FMM model with more reasonable assumptions that capture both longstring and random careless respondents. We provide a comprehensive comparison of the statistical assumptions between the proposed model and two previous constrained models. The proposed model was evaluated using both real data ( N = 1,455) and statistical simulation. The results showed that the model had a superior fit, stronger convergent validity with other indicators of careless responding, more accurate parameter recovery and more accurate identification of careless respondents when compared to its predecessors. The proposed model does not require additional data collection effort, and thus researchers can routinely use it to control careless responses. We provide user-friendly syntax with detailed explanations online to facilitate its use.","PeriodicalId":19689,"journal":{"name":"Organizational Research Methods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47298575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce a recently developed relational event model (REM) for the analysis of continuously observed interorganizational exchange relations. The combination of efficient sampling algorithms and sender-based stratification makes the models that we present particularly useful for the analysis of very large samples of relational event data generated by interaction among heterogeneous actors. We demonstrate the empirical value of event-oriented network models in two different settings for interorganizational exchange relations-that is, high-frequency overnight transactions among European banks and patient-sharing relations within a community of Italian hospitals. We focus on patterns of direct and generalized reciprocity while accounting for more complex forms of dependence present in the data. Empirical results suggest that distinguishing between degree- and intensity-based network effects, and between short- and long-term effects is crucial to our understanding of the dynamics of interorganizational dependence and exchange relations. We discuss the general implications of these results for the analysis of social interaction data routinely collected in organizational research to examine the evolutionary dynamics of social networks within and between organizations.</p>","PeriodicalId":19689,"journal":{"name":"Organizational Research Methods","volume":"26 3","pages":"524-565"},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/40/59/10.1177_10944281211058469.PMC10278390.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10351480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, random responding is a complex source of measurement bias and threatens the reliability of forced-choice assessments, which are essential in high-stakes organizational testing scenarios, such as hiring decisions. The traditional measurement models rely heavily on nonrandom, construct-relevant responses to yield accurate parameter estimates. When survey data contain many random responses, fitting traditional models may deliver biased results, which could attenuate measurement reliability. This study presents a new forced-choice measure-based mixture item response theory model (called M-TCIR) for simultaneously modeling normal and random responses (distinguishing completely and incompletely random). The feasibility of the M-TCIR was investigated via two Monte Carlo simulation studies. In addition, one empirical dataset was analyzed to illustrate the applicability of the M-TCIR in practice. The results revealed that most model parameters were adequately recovered, and the M-TCIR was a viable alternative to model both aberrant and normal responses with high efficiency.","PeriodicalId":19689,"journal":{"name":"Organizational Research Methods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41961861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the absence of explicit, structured, demographic information online makes applying these research questions to Big Data sources challenging. We highlight how deep neural networks can be used to infer demographics based on people's names, which are commonly found online (e.g., social media profiles, employee pages, and membership rosters), using broad international data to train and evaluate the effectiveness of these models and find that validity coefficients meet minimum reliability thresholds at the individual level ( rgender = .91, rethnicity = .80) highlighting their ability to contextualize and facilitate Big Data research. Using empirical data extracted from databases, websites, and mobile apps, we highlight how these models can be applied to large organizational data sets by presenting illustrative demonstrations of research questions that incorporate the information provided by the model. To promote broader usage, we offer an online application to infer demographics from names without requiring advanced programming knowledge.","PeriodicalId":19689,"journal":{"name":"Organizational Research Methods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46027719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To determine how studies in the organizational sciences address heterogeneity, we conduct two studies. In study 1, we examine how meta-analytic studies conduct heterogeneity assessments and report and interpret the obtained results. To do so, we coded heterogeneity-related information from meta-analytic studies published in five leading journals. We found that most meta-analytic studies report several heterogeneity statistics. At the same time, however, there tends to be a lack of detail and thoroughness in the interpretation of these statistics. In study 2, we review how primary studies report heterogeneity-related results and conclusions from meta-analyses. We found that the quality of the reporting of heterogeneity-related information in primary studies tends to be poor and unrelated to the detail and thoroughness with which meta-analytic studies report and interpret the statistics. Based on our findings, we discuss implications for practice and provide recommendations for how heterogeneity assessments should be conducted and communicated in future research.","PeriodicalId":19689,"journal":{"name":"Organizational Research Methods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43622205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A preponderance of mediation studies, however, focuses on determining solely whether mediation effects are statistically significant, instead of focusing on what the results tell us about potential theoretical refinements in the mediation model. We argue in favor of employing a set of three standardized effect sizes based on variance proportions that allow researchers to compare their results with those of other mediation studies employing similar combinations of X, M, and Y variables. These standardized effect sizes constitute a set of common metrics signaling potential gaps in a mediation model, and as such provide useful insights for the theoretical refinement of mediation models in organizational research. We illustrate the utility of comparing these common-metric effect sizes using the examples of abusive and transformational leadership effects on employee outcomes as transmitted by social exchange quality.","PeriodicalId":19689,"journal":{"name":"Organizational Research Methods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48021064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach facilitates the development of theory testing the proposition that individual members are themselves complex systems comprised of multiple attributes and that the configuration of those attributes affects team-level processes and outcomes. Here, we expand this approach, originally developed for two attributes, by describing three ways researchers may capture the alignment of three or more team member attributes: (a) a geometric approach, (b) a physical approach accentuating ideal alignment, and (c) an algebraic approach accentuating the direction (as opposed to magnitude) of alignment. We also provide examples of the research questions each could answer and compare the methods empirically using a synthetic dataset assessing 100 teams of three to seven members across four attributes. Then, we provide a practical guide to selecting an appropriate method when considering team-member attribute patterns by answering several common questions regarding applying attribute alignment. Finally, we provide code ( https://github.com/kjem514/Attribute-Alignment-Code ) and apply this approach to a field data set in our appendices.","PeriodicalId":19689,"journal":{"name":"Organizational Research Methods","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43887552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce the concept of macro-iterativity which involves multiple iterations that move between, and link across, a set of research cycles. We offer a multi-arc research design that comprises the discovery arc and extension arc and three extension logics through which scholars can combine these arcs of inquiry in a coherent way. Based on this research design, we develop a roadmap that guides scholars through the four steps of how to engage in multi-arc research along with the main techniques and outputs.
