TRIANGULATING JOB ATTITUDES WITH INTERPRETIVE AND POSITIVIST MEASUREMENT METHODS
研究用解释主义方法收集员工对工作经历的非结构化描述，并与传统满意度量表及工作行为客观指标进行相关分析，发现语言表达与结构化测量和行为数据显著一致，验证了传统满意度测量方法的构念效度。
Interpretive research methods were used to gather and interpret employees’unstructured, written expressions of satisfying and dissatisfying job experiences. Clinical judgments were made of the categories of meaning and the overall affect expressed in the written passages. The judgments and interpretations then were correlated with both traditional, positivist, self‐report satisfaction scales and objective measures of work behavior. It was found that the language employees used to describe their job experiences converged significantly with the structured satisfaction measures and work behaviors. The results provide evidence for the construct validity of some traditional methods for assessing job satisfaction. Strengths and weaknesses of interpretive and positivist approaches to job satisfaction measurement are discussed.
