Self-other Agreement on Influence Attempts in Virtual Organizations - Do Agents and Peers See Eye to Eye?

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the convergent and discriminant validity of self-peer reports from three different sources on the use of influence tactics in virtual organizations. Therefore, directly related triads of network members were analyzed. First, members (agents) should describe how they try to influence a certain person (target) in the joint collaboration. Second, the defined target and another network member (non-target) described how they perceive the agent’s influence attempts. All sources rated nine types of influence tactics. The resulting multitrait-multimethod design was analyzed with 243 sets of triads using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results supported evidence for convergence of agents’ and peers’ reports on influence attempts and confirmed the multidimensionality of micro-political behavior in virtual organizations.
