最近的发展，在文献中提供了一个更好的理解的重要性和程序，测试测量等价的组织研究。然而，尽管组织研究中的许多结构是多维和多方面的，但用于测试高阶结构的测量等效性的程序并不常见。本研究首先从理论的角度讨论了检验高阶结构的测量等价性的重要性，然后用小规模的模拟来证明这一重要性。最后，一阶和二阶结构的结构方程模型测试各种形式的测量等效性的程序进行了澄清，并说明了一个数值例子。
Recent developments in the literature provide us with a better understanding of the importance of and procedures for testing measurement equivalence in organizational research. However, whereas many constructs in organizational research are multidimensional and multifaceted, procedures for testing the measurement equivalence of higher-order constructs are not commonly known. This study first discusses the importance of examining the measurement equivalence of higher-order constructs from a theoretical perspective, and then demonstrates that importance with a small-scale simulation. Finally, the procedures for testing various forms of measurement equivalence with structural equation modeling for both first- and second- order constructs are clarified and illustrated with a numerical example.
