The Measurement of Work Value Congruence: A Field Study Comparison
研究了如何概念化和测量工作价值观一致性，比较了不同测量指标（单一与多重、具体与一般）对上下级配对的影响，发现使用更包容的排序指标的平方一致性指数最适合评估价值观一致性对情感结果的影响。
Although research and practice involving a large number of individual and organizational-level processes requires making comparisons between different work-related values or sets of values (i.e., work value congruence), there is an absence of research dealing with how value congruence should be conceptualized and measured. This study examined a number of issues involving the conceptualization and measurement of work value congruence using interpersonal value comparisons. Comparisons were made for supervisor-subordinate pairs using work value congruence indexes composed of single versus multiple value measures and specific versus general value measures. These comparisons were made for actual and squared indexes and for indexes that were corrected for association with their component value measures. Results showed that a squared congruence index using a more inclusive rank order measure was most appropriate for assessing the effect of value congruence on affective outcomes.
