Construct measurement in strategic management research: illusion or reality?
分析了1998-2000年顶级期刊中战略管理实证文章,发现很少讨论信度和效度,常用单指标测量,且很少处理测量误差导致的衰减问题,对解读该领域研究结果有重要启示。
Abstract Strategic management research has been characterized as placing less emphasis on construct measurement than other management subfields. In this work, we document the state of the art of measurement in strategic management research, and discuss the implications for interpreting the results of research in this field. To assess the breadth of measurement issues in the discipline, we conducted a content analysis of empirical strategic management articles published in leading journals in the period of 1998–2000. We found that few studies discuss reliability and validity issues, and empirical research in the field commonly relies on single‐indicator measures. Additionally, studies rarely address the problems of attenuation due to measurement error. We close with a discussion of the implications for future research and for interpreting prior work in strategic management. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
