    A Multilevel Investigation of Overall Ratings of Job Performance
    (2009-03-16) Johnson, Emily C; Joan Michael, Committee Member; Mark Wilson, Committee Co-Chair; Adam Meade, Committee Chair; Bart Craig, Committee Member
    Although ratings of overall job performance are a common criterion measure in I/O psychology, research dedicated to understanding how overall performance is conceptualized by the individuals responsible for evaluating performance is limited. In this study, performance data collected from the immediate supervisors of state troopers was used to examine the relationship between dimension ratings and ratings of overall performance. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses indicated that, while both aspects of performance contribute to ratings of overall performance, the relationship between contextual performance and overall ratings varied across supervisors. Hypotheses were offered regarding characteristics of the supervisor and the work context that might explain this variance, but were not supported. Implications for practice and directions for future research are discussed.

    Perceived Overqualification: A Model of Antecedents and Outcomes
    (2010-02-23) Lobene, Eleni Vagias; Mark Wilson, Committee Member; Samuel Pond, Committee Member; Adam Meade, Committee Chair
    The purpose of this study is to explore the antecedents of perceived overqualification (POQ) and to investigate its relationship with relevant work behaviors and perceptions. Supervisory (N = 208) and self-reports (N = 415) were collected. Results indicate that POQ is predicted by narcissism and certain work dimensions, including task repetition and the presence of a uniform requirement. POQ is also related to lower job satisfaction and organizational commitment, and higher turnover intentions. Further research is needed to address POQ’s relationship to absenteeism and truancy.

    Referent Indicators in Tests of Metric Invariance
    (2008-03-19) Johnson, Emily C; Adam Meade, Committee Chair; Mark Wilson, Committee Member; S. Bart Craig, Committee Member
    Organizations frequently administer surveys and psychological measures to multiple groups (e.g., cultural and demographic groups). However, before making direct cross-group comparisons, researchers need to ensure that the psychometric properties of these measures do not differ by groups. In order to test this hypothesis of measurement invariance, many researchers employ confirmatory factor analytic tests of measurement invariance. These tests require a referent indicator (RI) for model identification. This RI is assumed to be perfectly invariant across groups. Using simulated data, results indicate that inappropriate RI selection may be mildly problematic for scale-level invariance tests and highly problematic for item-level tests. These findings underscore the importance of careful RI selection.
