进行跨国组织研究的研究人员面临着相当大的挑战。他们不仅要了解心理变量，还要将测量方法翻译成多种语言，并在多个国家和组织环境中管理这些测量方法。此外，一旦收集到数据，研究人员必须确定这些措施是否在其因素结构，可靠性和预测有效性方面以类似的统计方式在不同文化中运作。整个过程可能令人生畏。这本书介绍了组织内大规模跨国研究的可访问模型和现实世界的例子。投稿人介绍了他们自己成功的研究项目，强调了他们所面临的挑战以及他们如何克服这些挑战。心理测量，道德和方法的问题进行了探讨，以及进行这种类型的研究的个人和专业奖励。这本书将帮助组织研究人员确保他们的研究既具有普遍性，又与当今全球化和多样化的劳动力相关。它还将帮助消费者在组织中进行多元文化研究（例如，管理人员，从业人员和决策者）获得重要的研究问题的多元文化的观点。
Researchers conducting multinational organisational studies face considerable challenges. They must not only understand psychological variables, but also translate measures across several languages and administer those measures across several countries and organisational settings. Furthermore, once the data are collected, the researchers must determine whether the measures operate in a similar statistical manner across cultures in terms of their factor structure, reliability, and predictive validity. The entire process can be daunting. This book presents accessible models and real-world examples of large-scale, multinational research within organisations. The contributors describe their own successful research projects, highlighting the challenges they have faced and how they have overcome them. Psychometric, ethical, and methodological concerns are explored, as well as the personal and professional rewards of conducting this type of research. This book will help organisational researchers ensure that their studies are both generalisable and relevant to today's global and diverse work force. It will also help consumers of multicultural research in organisations (e.g., managers, practitioners, and policymakers) obtain a multicultural perspective on important research problems.
