Role Ambiguity, Role Conflict, and Perceived Environmental Uncertainty: Are the Scales Measuring Separate Constructs for Accountants?
对216名注册会计师的调查表明，角色模糊、角色冲突和感知环境不确定性是三个不同的构念，验证了各自量表的构念效度。
Abstract A sample of (N = 216) certified public accountants was surveyed using modified versions of Rizzo et al.'s (1970) role ambiguity and role conflict questionnaire and Duncan's (1972) perceived environmental uncertainty questionnaire to determine whether these concepts are measurements of distinct constructs. The question of the distinctness of the scales has important implications for the integrity of prior research. The items which comprised each of the questionnaires were examined using latent variable analysis. The results indicated the construct validity of role ambiguity and role conflict, and support was found for the distinctness of role ambiguity, role conflict, and perceived environmental uncertainty.
