Method Variance and Marker Variables: A Review and Comprehensive CFA Marker Technique (2010, methodology): “Over the years, this interest in method variance has led researchers to investigate how much method variance is present in various types of organizational and psychological data, the causes of this method variance, and strategies for controlling method variance (see summaries of this literature in C”
Heavy work investment: Its motivational make-up and outcomes (2013, unknown): “(Conway, 2002).”
Workaholism, Burnout, and Work Engagement: Three of a Kind or Three Different Kinds of Employee Well‐being? (2008, methodology): “All data are based on self-reports which means that the magnitudes of the effects that we reported may have been biased due to common method variance or the wish to answer consistently (Conway, 2002).”
The Value of Common Perspectives in Self-Reported Appraisals (2008, background): “Changing the perspective of the rater reduces the likelihood of social desirability bias, making it a more ‘‘bias-resistant’’ method (Conway, 2002).”
Examining occupational self-efficacy, work locus of control and communication as moderators of the job insecurity—job performance relationship (2010, methodology): “As each method has its unique sources of error variance, using different methods results in a bias that diminishes all relationships (Conway, 2002).”
Being Driven to Work Excessively Hard (2009, background): “all data are based on self-reports which means that the magnitudes of the effects that we reported may have been biased due to common method variance or the wish to answer consistently (Conway, 2002).”
Measuring basic needs satisfaction: Evaluating previous research and conducting new psychometric evaluations of the Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale (2010, methodology): “The presence of a negative method effect represents trait-irrelevant variance, that when left unaccounted for can have an effect on the reliability of a scale and the validity of inferences made from the measure (Conway, 2004).”
Workaholism and work–family conflict among university academics (2018, methodology): “Selfreported data on all variables may overestimate correlations because of common method variance (Conway 2002).”
