Publication Method Effects of Positive Affectivity, Negative Affectivity, and Impression Management in Self-Reports of Work Attitudes(2001) Chan, D.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYPositive affectivity (PA), negative affectivity (NA), and impression management (IM), which have been commonly asserted to be method factors that artifactually in-flate relations among self-reports of work attitudes, were simultaneously examined using latent variable models. The substantive relations among work attitudes were constituted by direct and indirect effects (through organizational commitment) from job satisfaction and perceived organizational support to intent to quit. Results showed a strong and negative latent correlation between NA and IM but only a weak and positive latent correlation between NA and PA. PA and IM were not correlated. PA had significant and substantial method-effects loadings on measures of work attitudes, NA had no significant method-effects loadings, and IM had significant method-effects loadings only on intent to quit. Latent variable model comparisons that provide direct tests for the impact of these 3 method effects on estimation of substantive relations among work attitudes indicated that the impact was trivial. Implications of the findings are discussed in the context of investigations of method effects and research on relations among substantive constructs involving the use of self-report measures.Publication Applicant perceptions of test fairness: integrating justice and self-serving bias perspectives(1998) Chan, D.; Schmitt, N.; Jennings, D.; Clause, C.S.; Delbridge, K.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYPublication Method Effects of Positive Affectivity, Negative Affectivity, and Impression Management in Self-Reports of Work Attitudes(2001) Chan, D.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYPublication The conceptualization and analysis of change over time: An integrative approach incorporating longitudinal mean and covariance structures analysis (LMACS) and multiple indicator latent growth modeling (MLGM)(1998-10) Chan, D.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYThe concept of change over time is fundamental to many phenomena investigated in organizational research. This didactically oriented article proposes an integrative approach incorporating longitudinal mean and covariance structures analysis and multiple indicator latent growth modeling to aid organizational researchers in directly addressing fundamental questions concerning the conceptualization and analysis of change over time. The approach is illustrated using a numerical example involving several organizationally relevant variables. Advantages, limitations, and extensions of the approach are discussed.Publication Questions about change over time in cross-cultural organizational research(2002) Chan, D.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYPublication Developing measures of basic job-relevant English proficiency for the prediction of job performance and promotability(1999) Chan, D.; Schmitt, N.; Jennings, D.; Sheppard, L.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYPublication An agenda for future research on applicant reactions to selection procedures: A construct-oriented approach(2004-03) Chan, D.; Schmitt, N.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYThis article offers an agenda for future research on applicant reactions to selection procedures. Advocating a construct-oriented approach, we propose that future research focuses attention on fundamental issues subsumed under seven distinct although related areas namely: (1) dimensions of applicant reactions, (2) changes in applicant reactions over time, (3) determinants of applicant reactions, (4) applicant reactions and test constructs, (5) criterion outcomes of applicant reactions, (6) reactions to new technology in testing, and (7) methodological and data analysis issues.Publication Interindividual differences in intraindividual changes in proactivity during organizational entry: A latent growth modeling approach to understanding newcomer adaptation(2000) Chan, D.; Schmitt, N.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYPublication Suppression of valid inferences: syntactic views, mental models, and relative salience(1994) Chan, D.; Chua, F.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYPublication Suppression of valid inferences: syntactic views, mental models, and relative salience(1994-12) Chan, D.; Chua, F.; SOCIAL WORK & PSYCHOLOGYByrne (1989) has demonstrated that although subjects can make deductively valid inferences of the modus ponens and modus tollens forms, these valid inferences can be suppressed by presenting an appropriate additional premise "If R then Q" with the original conditional "If P then Q". This suppression effect challenges the assumption of all syntactic theories of conditional reasoning that formal rules of inference such as modus ponens is part of mental logic. This paper argues that both the syntactic and the mental model accounts of the suppression effect are inadequate because they fail to give a principled account of the critical interpretive component involved in reasoning. In contrast, the relative salience model proposed in this study emphasized the centrality of the interpretative processes with the critical component being the relative salience of premises as judged by subjects on the basis of their prior knowledge activated in particular problem situations. Using 120 undergraduates and 120 policemen as subjects, predictions from the model were tested and confirmed in a suppression paradigm and evidence of convergent validity for the construct of salience were obtained. The results cannot be reconciled with either the syntactic view or the mental model view that have dominated theories of conditional reasoning. © 1994.
