WORKSHOP | 李文东：OB研究中变化相关问题的理论与方法

Abstract:

Although scholars have repeatedly called for more longitudinal research to investigate changes and dynamics of important constructs and phenomena in OB research, longitudinal research adopting a dynamic and temporal perspective to change-related issues have still been a minority in the field. In this two-half-day workshop, I will talk about theories and methods that are typically adopted in OB research to study change-related issues. Specific methods may include growth curve modeling, cross-lagged analyses, and latent change-score modeling. It is strongly encouraged that participants have some basic knowledge about how to use Mplus in data analyses. I will provide some hands-on exercises in the workshop for participants. I hope this talk will stimulate more research interests in tackling change-related issues and dynamics in the audience.
