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.
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.
