Method Variance in Organizational Research: Truth or Urban Legend?
In: Organizational research methods: ORM, Band 9, Heft 2, S. 221-232
ISSN: 1552-7425
It has become widely accepted that correlations between variables measured with the same method, usually self-report surveys, are inflated due to the action of common method variance (CMV), despite a number of sources that suggest the problem is overstated. The author argues that the popular position suggesting CMV automatically affects variables measured with the same method is a distortion and oversimplification of the true state of affairs, reaching the status of urban legend. Empirical evidence is discussed casting doubt that the method itself produces systematic variance in observations that inflates correlations to any significant degree. It is suggested that the term common method variance be abandoned in favor of a focus on measurement bias that is the product of the interplay of constructs and methods by which they are assessed. A complex approach to dealing with potential biases involves their identification and control to rule them out as explanations for observed relationships using a variety of design strategies.
Perceived Control by Employees: A Meta-Analysis of Studies Concerning Autonomy and Participation at Work
In: Human relations: towards the integration of the social sciences, Band 39, Heft 11, S. 1005-1016
ISSN: 1573-9716, 1741-282X
Perceived control by employees is a variable that has been heavily researched in two popular areas, job design (as autonomy) and participative decision-making. A meta-analysis was conducted of studies relating perceived control variables to 19 employee outcome variables. For all studies combined, it was found that high levels of perceived control was associated with high levels of job satisfaction (overall and individual facets), commitment, involvement, performance and motivation, and low levels of physical symptoms, emotional distress, role stress, absenteeism, intent to turnover, and turnover. A similar pattern was found for the autonomy and participation studies analyzed separately, with one exception. Participative decision-making was not associated with absenteeism in the single study available.

Handling Nonorthogonal Analysis of Variance: A Review of Techniques
In: Evaluation review: a journal of applied social research, Band 4, Heft 6, S. 843-855
ISSN: 1552-3926
Nonorthogonal analysis of variance has received considerable attention in recent years resulting in numerous articles advocating a number of nonequivalent approaches. These approaches are briefly summarized along with the arguments for and against each. It is suggested that each technique is appropriate for certain situations, but that the comprehensive strategy presented by Appelbaum and Cramer (1974) is perhaps best for the majority of nonorthogonal analyses.
