Garbage-In, Garbage-Out: Item Generation As A Threat To Construct Validity, Terri A. Scandura Phd, Lucy R. Ford Jan 2005

Garbage-In, Garbage-Out: Item Generation As A Threat To Construct Validity, Terri A. Scandura Phd, Lucy R. Ford

Management Faculty Articles and Papers

Item generation has received only cursory attention in the research literature, despite the fact that it seems obvious that poorly written items will result in poor psychometric properties of measures. In this paper, we review the literature on item generation, develop a typology of threats to construct validity, and evaluate five commonly used
organizational research measures with respect to typology. Our results demonstrate that the sampled measures have significant problems that may represent threats to construct validity. recommendations for improved item generation practice are offered.


La Psicología Social Y La Sociología Fenomenológica. Apuntes Teóricos Para La Exploración De La Dimensión Comunicológica De La Interacción, Marta Rizo Jan 2005

La Psicología Social Y La Sociología Fenomenológica. Apuntes Teóricos Para La Exploración De La Dimensión Comunicológica De La Interacción, Marta Rizo

Global Media Journal México

El objetivo de este texto es ahondar en la definición de la interacción, en su relación de interdependencia con la comunicación y, finalmente, en su carácter de base de toda relación social. La propuesta radica en definir la interacción con base a dos fuentes históricas concretas: la psicología social y la sociología fenomenológica. Y la elección no es azarosa, es parte de la propuesta teórica del grupo “Hacia una Comunicología Posible”, que parte de la existencia de cuatro grandes dimensiones de estudio de la comunicología –expresión, difusión, interacción y estructuración-, y de siete fuentes básicas para la reconstrucción del pensamiento …

Analyzing The Effect Of Top Management Support On Information System (Is) Performance Across Organizations And Industries Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling, Thawatchai Jitpaiboon, Sema A. Kalaian Jan 2005

Analyzing The Effect Of Top Management Support On Information System (Is) Performance Across Organizations And Industries Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling, Thawatchai Jitpaiboon, Sema A. Kalaian

Journal of International Information Management

Top management support has long been conceivable as an important factor for the success of IS projects. Due to the hierarchical nature of an organization, a cross-level interaction can occur among nested levels. Thus, using inappropriate statistical analysis can cause misleading results and lost of information. This study provides two contributions to the IS research. First, Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) was used to explain the cross-level interaction between organizational level and industry level. Second, unlike other studies focusing on an organizational level, this study considers top management support at the industry level and examines the mediating role of top management …

From Theory To Practice: Improving The Impact Of Health Services Research., Kevin Brazil, Elizabeth Ozer, Michelle M Cloutier, Robert Levine, Daniel Stryer

SoM Articles

BACKGROUND: While significant strides have been made in health research, the incorporation of research evidence into healthcare decision-making has been marginal. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of how the utility of health services research can be improved through the use of theory. Integrating theory into health services research can improve research methodology and encourage stronger collaboration with decision-makers.

DISCUSSION: Recognizing the importance of theory calls for new expectations in the practice of health services research. These include: the formation of interdisciplinary research teams; broadening the training for those who will practice health services research; and …
