The empirical assessment of construct validity

Article Abstract:

Construct validity is of key importance if theory-driven empirical research in operations management is to succeed. Construct validity enables the researcher to quantify the deviation of a construct or model from the intended subject of study, allowing the results to be free of measurement errors that will bias the assessment of the subject. Confirmatory factor analysis is a better tool to use in construct validity evaluation since the method contains inferential statistics that allow for hypothesis testing in the unidimensionality of measures.
