人际关系网是指建立和保持个人联系，以获得资源，从而提高个人的职业成功和工作业绩。本研究报告的翻译和适应的多方面的德国网络规模（沃尔夫和莫泽，2006年）到英语，并侧重于两种语言版本的等效性。我们超越了常用的翻译-回译方法，使用了一种平行翻译-回译方法，结合两个专家委员会，以达到英语量表版本，旨在获得至少结构上的对等。我们使用双语样本（N = 76）以及来自美国（N = 174）和德国（N = 228）的单语样本，按照Robin，Sireci和Hambleton（2003）建议的三个步骤检查等效性。首先，量表的心理测量特性令人满意，各语文版本之间具有可比性。第二，加权多维尺度支持我们的假设，结构等价持有…
Networking refers to building and maintaining personal contacts in order to obtain resources that, in turn, enhance one’s career success and work performance. This study reports the translation and adaptation of a multifaceted German networking scale (Wolff & Moser, 2006) into English and focuses on the equivalence of the two language versions. Going beyond the often used translation-backtranslation method, we used a parallel translation-backtranslation method in combination with two expert committees to arrive at the English scale version, aiming to obtain at least structural equivalence. We utilize a bilingual sample (N = 76) as well as monolingual samples from the US (N = 174) and Germany (N = 228) to examine the equivalence following the three steps suggested by Robin, Sireci, and Hambleton (2003). First, psychometric properties of the scales were satisfactory and comparable across the language versions. Second, weighted multidimensional scaling supported our assumption that structural equivalence hol...
