Linking leader behavior and leadership consensus to team performance: Integrating direct consensus and dispersion models of group composition (2011, background): “Whereas researchers have used a number of indexes to assess within-team consensus, Roberson et al. (2007) were the first to consider how the operationalization of consensus may affect a study's findings.”
Organizational climate, relative psychological climate and job satisfaction: The example of supportive leadership climate (2009, background): “They suggest that focusing more on the latter through dispersion indices (Roberson et al., 2007) will be more fruitful than following the climate strength route that uses an aggregate-level variance approach (Bliese and Halverson, 1998; González-Romá et al.”
Dispersion-Composition Models in Multilevel Research (2011, methodology): “, standard deviation) of a set of team ratings from its mean (Roberson et al., 2007).”
Multiple Informant Methodology: A Critical Review and Recommendations (2010, result): “The measures of interrater agreement yield very similar (highly correlated) results (e.g., Brown and Hauenstein 2005; Burke et al. 1999; Roberson et al. 2007).”
Entrepreneurial passion diversity in new venture teams: An empirical examination of short- and long-term performance implications (2020, methodology): “Our choice of using the SD as our operationalization of team passion diversity (as opposed to other metrics) is based on best practice recommendations for capturing within-group dispersion by Roberson et al. (2007) and separation by Harrison and Klein (2007).”
