The Comparison of Measures Of Organization Structure
近期三项研究发现调查法与制度法测量组织结构的收敛性低，挑战了两种方法可互换的假设。本文探讨了测量焦点、技术及数据源对收敛性的影响，指出当前收敛性概念过于宽泛。
The low convergence between survey and institutional measures of organization structure reported in three recent studies challenges assumptions about the interchangeability of these two approaches. Current formulations of convergence appear to be too broad, and this inadequacy has contributed to the low convergence observed in these studies. Several issues are relevant to expectations of congruence between alternative measures of organization structure: the focus (organization, role, or job); the technique (survey or institutional); and the data source. Convergence cannot be expected between measures that focus on different referents or that apply at different levels of analysis.
