그룹수준의 변수측정 방법결정을 위한 종합적 체계

Abstract

Although group-level studies are increasing, methods of measuring group-level constructs have remained quite simple because researchers assume compositional conceptualization of group-level constructs. Authors of many studies simply aggregate individual responses to team responses; however, simple aggregation can hinder research by creating significant barriers for conducting group-level studies and impeding our understanding of group microdynamics. That is, simple aggregation cannot represent group dynamics well became composition of individual responses might result in biased estimation. In this paper, we defined a comprehensive list of measurement methods that exist for measuring group-level constructs by reviewing 141 articles from organizational behavior literature published between 2012 and 2016. Based on the literature review, we show how much previous research on group-level studies has relied on skewed methodologies for measuring group-level constructs, and we urge using more diverse ways of measuring them.
