LIMA-LEONARDO, Maria da Glória et al. Assessing the influence of reversed items and force-choice on the work and meaning inventory. Acción psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.1, pp.103-116.  Epub 25-Jul-2022. ISSN 2255-1271.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5944/ap.17.1.27330.

Response biases are issues in inventories in positive organizational psychology. The study aims to control the response bias in the assessment of meaning of work through two methods: reversed key items and forced-choice format. The sample consisted of 351 professionals; women constituted 60.0 % of the sample. The participants answered two versions of the instrument for meaning of work: Likert-type items and forced-choice. For both versions, the unifactorial model was the most appropriate for the data available. The results indicate that the random intercepts model fit the Likert data (CFI = .92), as well as the forced-choice model (CFI = .97). Besides, the latent dimension of the forced-choice version did not correlate with acquiescence index (r < .08; p > .05), and approximately 20 % of the variance of the items might be due to the method (Likert or forced-choice). The present study illustrates the importance of response bias control in self-report instruments.

Palavras-chave : work; meaning at work; acquiescence; forced-choice items.
