Work engagement and workaholism: comparing the self-employed and salaried employees (2010, background): “However, job performance lends itself well for multiple measurement methods, such as more objective measures and non-incumbent ratings (Spector, 2006).”
Taking Stock: Integrating and Differentiating Multiple Proactive Behaviors (2010, background): “Moreover, to the extent that commonmethod variance is in operation, the differences among proactive behaviors would be obscured (Spector, 2006).”
The effects of technostress and switching stress on discontinued use of social networking services: a study of Facebook use (2015, neutral): “© 2015 Wiley Publishing Ltd, Information Systems Journal 25, 275–308 for studies collecting data at a given point in time from one single survey with similar scales (Spector, 2006), we collected data at five different points during the experiment.”
Leader-member exchange, work engagement, and job performance (2015, methodology): “Although it is unlikely that common method bias invalidates our findings, because it is rarely strong enough (e.g. Doty and Glick, 1998; Spector, 2006), we did use Harman’s single factor test and performed an exploratory factor analysis.”
Accountability, entitlement, tenure, and satisfaction in Generation Y (2015, background): “Although most of our study variables would be difficult to measure accurately from a third-party perspective, Spector (2006) has noted that single-method designs can artificially suppress observed effect sizes.”
Dispositional Sources of Managerial Discretion: CEO Ideology, CEO Personality, and Firm Strategies (2018, methodology): “To mitigate the common method variance concern, we collected data by using a two-wave study design (Podsakoff et al., 2003; Spector, 2006).”
