Hi there,
I am looking for some articles/advice how to tackle the common source/common method variance issue. We already conducted the study and we have been criticized for getting both iv and dv from the same respondents (no objective performance measures). Besides the common latent factor or the marker variable technique, are there other ex post techniques (it is unfortunately no possible to get further data)? Do you have prior experiences to please critical reviewers? Any suggestion or further literature to strengthen our argumentation would help a lot!
Thanks
Christian

Both discuss the issue of common method bias. To do control for common method variance ex post however is usually difficult. There are a lot measures one can use prior conducting the study. These measures diminish the influence of common method variance. Kind Regards Rafael Wilms
Hi,
The Harman one factor test is another option to test for common method variance.
In terms of literature, I can highly recommend:
Thank you!
I will check out the literature.
Actually, we did the Harman test. It was, however, criticized for being to simple...
