Hi everyone,
I've just read a brilliant paper by Podsakoff, et al., 2003 on common method biases and I was wondering if you have any further thoughts on this topic. I am particularly interested in identifying common method biases in organizational setting at the time of restructuring/merging of companies.
Looking forward to hearing Your ideas! :-)
Hi Lukasz
He followed it up in a more recent view (attached). The only thing is I'm not sure (a) it is that easy to account for and (b) whether it's as big an issue as it's made out to be (a and b might actually be interlinked).
Basically CMV is often cited in relation to relationships between self-rated constructs...but whilst this monomethod approach may, indeed, bias estimates upwards, another issue that is attributed to self-ratings, unreliability, would attenuate estimates of your constructs downwards. Therefore, the interpretation and magnitude of an observed relation in terms of CMV may be over-exaggerated.
see chapter 13 in http://www.amazon.com/Statistical-Methodological-Myths-Urban-Legends/dp/0805862382 for more details
Cheers

Hi，Lukasz,
I think what Tom suggested is OK to your question.
Hope it is helpful to you.

I'll surely recommend Podsakoff's approach, very simplified and many scholar have adopted the same method in their studies.
