国际上对消极领导行为的研究兴趣与日俱增，这促使人们有必要检查，美国制定的衡量无效领导能力的指标是否在美国以外的国家也是一样的。B.J.Tepper(2000)的滥用监督措施在美国国内外得到了广泛的应用，其在不同文化背景下的结构等价性值得研究。作者进行了一系列多组验证性因素分析，以调查这一测量在台湾(N=256)和美国(N=389)的测量等价性。构型不变性被确立，这表明美国和台湾的样本都将滥用监督视为一个单因素概念。此外，部分度量不变性和部分标量不变性的建立表明，滥用监督测量适用于潜在均值、构造方差、协方差和非标准化路径系数的跨文化比较，但注意来自不同文化的工作者在回答某些问题时会对他们的反应进行不同的校准。
Growing international research interest in negative-leadership behaviors prompts the need to examine whether measures of ineffective leadership developed in the United States are equivalent across countries outside the United States. B. J. Tepper's (2000) abusive supervision measure has been used widely inside and outside the United States and merits research attention on its construct equivalence across different cultural settings. The authors conducted a series of multigroup confirmatory factor analyses to investigate the measurement equivalence of this measure across Taiwan (N = 256) and the United States (N = 389). Configural invariance was established, suggesting that both U.S. and Taiwanese samples perceive abusive supervision as a single-factor concept. Furthermore, the establishment of partial metric invariance and partial scalar invariance suggests that the abusive supervision measure is applicable to crosscultural comparisons in latent means, construct variance, construct covariances, and unstandardized path coefficients with the caution that workers from different cultures calibrate their responses differently when answering some items.
