HYPOTHESIZING DIFFERENTIAL ITEM FUNCTIONING IN GLOBAL EMPLOYEE OPINION SURVEYS
研究基于霍夫斯泰德的文化维度，预测全球企业调查中与监督相关的项目何时会出现差异项目功能，发现文化维度差异大的国家间假设项目差异更大，对跨国员工意见调查有参考价值。
Cross‐cultural researchers have not used cultural dimensions to predict when differential item functioning (DIF) in attitude survey items is likely to occur. Predictive hypotheses for items related to supervision on a global corporate survey were developed based on 3 of Hofstede's (1991a) dimensions. In some cases, greater DIF was found on hypothesized items between countries differing on cultural dimensions. Implications for the use of this framework and DIF in examining multinational employee opinion surveys are discussed.
