TY - JOUR AU1 - Kavanagh, Michael J. AU2 - MacKinney, Arthur C. AU3 - Wolins, Leroy AB - Examines 3 general issues of dimensionality, validity, and content of ratings of managerial performance in terms of "relevance to the ultimate criterion." It is argued that the multitrait-multimethod design yields the best evidence for investigating these issues. An analysis of variance model with computational formulas for the sums of squares and variance components based on the correlation matrix is proposed for the multitrait-multimethod situation. Using this model, data from 2 studies are examined and compared, relative to convergent and discriminant validity, method bias (halo), and error variance. It appears that this model and the indexes derived from it provide a more simplified and interpretable technique for analyzing and summarizing multitrait-multimethod data. A procedure to improve performance ratings based on partitioning the original matrix is illustrated with an example from the larger data set. (37 ref.)
