TLDR
In this article, it is shown that estimates of agreement based on group mean scores have been incorrectly interpreted as applying to perceptual agreement among individuals, and the logic of the approach is then extended to other studies in which inflated estimates appeared likely.
Abstract
: It is shown that estimates of agreement based on group mean scores have been incorrectly interpreted as applying to perceptual agreement among individuals. Of initial importance is a study by Drexler (1977), who concluded that a considerable proportion of the variance in climate perceptions is accounted for by organizational membership. This conclusion has been employed recently by other authors to support the assumption that individuals in the same environment tend to agree with respect to climate perceptions. The present paper demonstrates that Drexler's analysis provided inflated estimates of agreement among individuals. The logic of the approach is then extended to other studies in which inflated estimates of agreement appeared likely. (Author)

Person-organization fit: an integrative review of its conceptualizations, measurement, and implications

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive definition and conceptual model of person-organization fit that incorporates supplementary as well as complementary perspectives on fit is presented, and a distinction is made between the direct measurement of perceived fit and the indirect measurement of actual personorganisation fit, using both cross-and individual-level techniques.

Statistical Theories of Mental Test Scores

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of test theory models and their application in the field of mental test analysis. But the focus of the survey is on test-score theories and models, and not the practical applications and limitations of each model studied.
