Women’s Managerial Aspirations (2014, unknown): “Thus, we used a single-indicator approach (Jarvis, MacKenzie, & Podsakoff, 2003; Sass & Smith, 2006; e.g., Rindova, Williamson, Petkova, & Sever, 2005; Tekleab, Takeuchi, & Taylor, 2005).”
Exploratory structural equation modeling: an integration of the best features of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. (2014, background): “…the appropriate use of parcels is well established (e.g., Bandalos 2008; Little et al. 2002; Marsh & O’Neill 1984; Marsh et al. 1998, 2013a; Sass & Smith 2006; Williams & O’Boyle 2008): Responses to each different factor must be purely unidimensional, with no nonzero cross-loading—in…”
Losing sleep: Examining the cascading effects of supervisors' experience of injustice on subordinates' psychological health (2010, methodology): “Due to the relatively small sample size, we sought to minimize the number of indicators per construct using item parcels (Hau & Marsh, 2004; Sass & Smith, 2006).”
Why the Items versus Parcels Controversy Needn’t Be One (2013, background): “For this reason, it is rarely appropriate, though many authors have advocated random parceling with unidimensional indicators (e.g., Landis et al., 2000; Matsunaga, 2008; Sass & Smith, 2006; Yang, Nay, & Hoyle, 2010; Yuan et al., 1997).”
Unmasking the creative self-efficacy–creative performance relationship: the roles of thriving at work, perceived work significance, and task interdependence (2020, methodology): “To achieve an optimal ratio of sample size versus the number of estimated parameters, we followed recommendations of previous research (e.g. Sass & Smith, 2006) and used dimension scores for the theorized dimensions of thriving (2 dimensions) and work significance (2 dimensions).”
Linking Transformational Leadership and Team Performance: A Conflict Management Approach (2011, unknown): “We therefore tested our hypotheses using two other parcelling strategies mentioned by Sass and Smith (2006). Analyses based on all three of these parcelling strategies led to the same results, thus supporting the robustness of our treatment of the data in this study.”
The Influence of Childhood (2012, background): “This approach allowed us to examine the relationships among constructs without compromising construct validity and latent variable measurement error (Bandalos & Finney, 2001; Sass & Smith, 2006).”
A dimensional analysis of creativity and mental illness: Do anxiety and depression symptoms predict creative cognition, creative accomplishments, and creative self-concepts? (2010, background): “Analyses of internal consistency for the scales as a whole and for the parcels showed that parceling didn’t seem to introduce local dependence (Coffman & McCallum, 2005; Sass & Smith, 2006).”
Ethical Leadership and Team Ethical Voice and Citizenship Behavior in the Military: The Roles of Team Moral Efficacy and Ethical Climate (2020, methodology): “Thus, following recommendations (Bandalos & Finney, 2001; Little et al., 2002; Meade & Kroustalis, 2006; Sass & Smith, 2006), we used parceling (with random assignment of items to parcels) only for those constructs assessed through unidimensional scales.”
