Is Everyone in Agreement? An Exploration of Within-Group Agreement in Employee Perceptions of the Work Environment
Multilevel researchers often gather individual-level data to measure group-level constructs. Within-group agreement is a key consideration in the measurement of such constructs, yet antecedents of within-group agreement have been little studied.

| description | Multilevel researchers often gather individual-level data to
measure group-level constructs. Within-group agreement is
a key consideration in the measurement of such constructs, yet
antecedents of within-group agreement have been little studied.
The authors found that group member social interaction and work interdependence
were significantly positively related to within-group agreement
regarding perceptions of the work environment. Demographic heterogeneity
was not significantly related to within-group agreement. Survey
wording showed a complex relationship to agreement. Both evaluative
items and socially undesirable items generated high within-group
agreement. The use of a group rather than individual referent increased
within-group agreement in response to descriptive items but decreased
within-group agreement in response to evaluative items. Items
with a group referent showed greater between-group variability than
items with an individual referent. |
