Predicting employee reactions to perceived organizational wrongdoing: Demoralization, justice, proactive personality, and whistle-blowing (2012, methodology): “This method is superior to other methods of handling missing data, including listwise deletion, and it does not bias internal consistency when fewer than 20% of the items on a scale are missing (McDonald et al., 2000).”

(2007, methodology): “This imputation method has been noted as one of the two most effective means (with regression imputation being the other) of estimating missing item responses ( McDonald, Thurston, & Nelson, 2000; Roth, Switzer, & Switzer, 1999).”
