“…The appropriateness of the multiple group structural equation modeling analysis was determined by goodness-of-fit indices. The model fit was assessed using the Tucker-Lewis Index, Comparative Fit Index, and root-mean-square error of approximation (Kenny & McCoach, 2003;Lievens & Van Keer, 2001). Coefficients of paths between constructs were examined to see whether path coefficients were invariant between the full-and part-time employees.…”

As the number of part-time employees continually increases in the United States, it is critical to know how employment status affects employees' attitudes and behaviors for organizational success as the employee plays the key role in the delivery of quality guest service and customer retention. The main goal of this study was to investigate the moderating effect of work status on the relationship between organizational and supervisor support, organizational commitment, citizen behaviors, and employee performance. Nearly 300 employees working in the restaurant industry were asked to participate in this study. Structural equation modeling was conducted to examine the four hypotheses proposed to investigate the objectives. The results indicate that there are stronger effects on employees' commitment and organizational commitment on citizenship behaviors among part-time employees than full-time workers. This finding implies that part-time employees should not be treated as perishable workers.

“…In addition, they have been found in ACs conducted all over the world. Apart from the United States (Bycio, Alvares, & Hahn, 1987;Harris, Becker, & Smith, 1993;Kudisch, Ladd, & Dobbins, 1997;Reilly, Henry, & Smither, 1990;Sackett & Dreher, 1982;Schneider & Schmitt, 1992;Silverman, Dalessio, Woods, & Johnson, 1986), these results have been established in the United Kingdom (Anderson, Lievens, van Dam, & Born, 2006;Crawley, Pinder, & Herriot, 1990;Robertson, Gratton, & Sharpley, 1987), Germany (Kleinmann & Ko¨ller, 1997;Kleinmann, Kuptsch, & Ko¨ller, 1996), Belgium (Lievens & Van Keer, 2001), France (Borteyrou, 2005;Rolland, 1999), Australia (Atkins & Wood, 2002), New Zealand (Jackson, Stillman, & Atkins, 2005), China (Wu & Zhang, 2001), and Singapore (Chan, 1996).…”

Exercises are key components of assessment centers (ACs). However, little is known about the nature and determinants of AC exercise performance. The traditional exercise paradigm primarily emphasizes the need to simulate task, social, and organizational demands in AC exercises. This chapter draws on trait activation theory in proposing a new AC exercise paradigm. First, we develop a theoretical framework that addresses the complexity of situational characteristics of AC exercises as determinants of AC performance. Second, we argue for planting multiple stimuli within exercises as a structured means of eliciting candidate behavior. Third, we show how the new paradigm also has key insights for the rating part of ACs, namely, in selecting dimensions, designing behavioral checklists, screening assessors, and training assessors. Finally, the impact of this new AC exercise paradigm is anticipated on important AC outcomes such as reliability, internal/ external construct-related validity, criterion-related validity, assessee perceptions, and feedback effectiveness.

“…The RMSEA is particularly well suited to determining the number of latent subconstructs in a construct because it decreases when an additional sub-construct reduces the F 0 (minimal population discrepancy function) substantially, but increases, showing poorer model fit, if including the additional subconstruct only reduces F 0 slightly (Steiger and Lind 1980). Thus, it is used to provide guidance on the number of optimal subconstructs to use (Lievens and Van Keer 2001), which was central to our objective of confirming the constituent dimensions of the high-level trust constructs. Convergent validity was assessed using three criteria: individual item lambda coefficients greater than 0.70, a significant (0.05 level) t statistic for each path (Gefen et al 2000), and each path loading greater than twice its standard error (Anderson and Gerbing 1988).…”

cause of uncertainty about vendor behavior or the perceived risk of having personal information stolen by hackers. Trust plays a central role in helping consumers overcome perceptions of risk and insecurity. Trust makes consumers comfortable sharing personal information, making purchases, and acting on Web vendor advice-behaviors essential to widespread adoption of e-commerce. Therefore, trust is critical to both researchers and practitioners. Prior research on e-commerce trust has used diverse, incomplete, and inconsistent definitions of trust, making it difficult to compare results across studies. This paper contributes by proposing and validating measures for a multidisciplinary, multidimensional model of trust in e-commerce. The model includes four high-level constructs-disposition to trust, institution-based trust, trusting beliefs, and trusting intentions-which are further delineated into 16 measurable, literature-grounded subconstructs. The psychometric properties of the measures are demonstrated through use of a hypothetical, legal advice Web site. The results show that trust is indeed a multidimensional concept. Proposed relationships among the trust constructs are tested (for internal nomological validity), as are relationships between the trust constructs and three other e-commerce constructs (for external nomological validity)-Web experience, personal innovativeness, and Web site quality. Suggestions for future research as well as implications for practice are discussed.
