Using Computer-Aided Text Analysis to Elevate Constructs
展示如何用计算机辅助文本分析将个体层面的构念(以心理资本为例)提升到组织层面,并确保测量效度,对组织研究者有用。
Applying individual-level constructs to higher levels of analysis can be a fruitful practice in organizational research. Although this practice is beneficial in developing and testing theory, there are measurement and validation concerns that, if improperly addressed, may threaten the validity and utility of the research. This article illustrates how computer-aided text analysis might be utilized to facilitate construct elevation while ensuring proper validation. Specifically, we apply a framework to develop organizational-level operationalizations of individual-level constructs using the psychological capital construct as an example.
