Assessing measurement equivalence of English and Spanish versions of an employee attitude survey using multigroup analysis in structural equation modeling
M. Koulikov. University of North Texas, Ann Arbor, M.S., (2003)(ISSP).
Abstract
The study utilized the covariance structure comparison methodology--Multigroup Analysis in Structural Equation Modeling--evaluating measurement equivalence of English and Spanish versions of an employee opinion survey. The concept of measurement equivalence was defined as consisting of four components: sample equivalence, semantic equivalence, conceptual equivalence and scalar equivalence. The results revealed that the two language versions of the survey exhibited acceptable measurement equivalence across five survey dimensions Communications, Supervision, Leadership, Job Content & Satisfaction and Company Image & Commitment. Contrary to the study second hypothesis, there was no meaningful difference in opinion scores between English-speaking and Spanish-speaking respondents on the latent construct of Job Content & Satisfaction.
