Developing Measures for Assessing the Organizational Impact of Information Technology: A Comment on Mahmood and Soon's Paper
评论了Mahmood和Soon的研究,使用有限信息因子分析和最小平均偏相关准则检验其变量的单维度性,结果质疑了两个原始变量的单维度性,并引用先前研究支持结论。
ABSTRACT In a recent study, Mahmood and Soon [26] identified and operationalized a set of variables that can be potentially impacted by information technology. The lack of factor analysis to verify the dimensionality of different variables is a notable omission in the study. This paper describes and employs the limited‐information factor analysis approach and the minimum average partial criterion for testing the unidimensionality of different variables in the Mahmood and Soon study. While reconfirming the construct validity of eight variables, our results question the unidimensionality of two original variables. Further testimony is provided in favor of our results by citing previous research studies.
