The empirical assessment of construct validity

Abstract: This paper provides an in-depth review of the different methods available for assessing the construct validity of measures used in empirical research. Construct validity pertains to the degree to which the measure of a construct sufficiently Ž. measures the intended concept e.g., is free of measurement error and has been shown to be a necessary component of the research process. In order to illustrate the steps required to establish construct validity, we drew upon empirical research in the operations manageme… Show more

“…Table 3 shows that all our construct obtained Cronbach"s alpha and Composite Reliability scores above the threshold of 0.70. We assessed construct validity by evaluating convergent validity [42] and discriminant validity [49]. In general, convergent validity is considered acceptable when the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) values successfully exceed the threshold of 0.50 for all constructs [12,19], which indicates that more than 50% of the variance of the measurement items can be accounted for by the constructs [30].…”

“…Therefore, we could claim convergent validity for our measurement model. Discriminant validity means the degree to which measures of different latent variables are unique [42].…”

“…Construct Validity is the assessment of the degree to which an operationalization correctly measures its targeted variables. 46 Bentler-Bonett coeffi cient 47 is used to measure Convergent Validity of the model, which is the measure of the degree to which multiple methods of measuring a variable provide the same results. 46 Results from the Table 8 show that all six dimensions have Bentler-Bonett Goodness of Coeffi cient more than 0.90, which is above the required level.…”

“…14 convergent validity and reliability to be assessed. Establishing these properties helps assure researchers and research consumers that the scales actually measure the phenomena that they purport to measure (Churchill, 1979;O'Leary-Kelly and Vokurka, 1998). Several refinements to the scales were made during this process (i.e.…”
