An assessment of the structural invariance of the Performance Index structural model (original) (raw)

Abstract

The Performance Index (PI) was developed as a comprehensive criterion measure of unit performance for which the unit leader could be held responsible. The basic PI structural model has been developed to explain how the various latent unit performance dimensions comprising organisational unit performance are structurally inter-related. Preliminary research suggests that the basic PI structural model might have to be refined. Continued research into this can only be justified, however, if the basic PI structural model is shown to be structurally invariant across independent samples from the target population. As a necessary methodological precursor to the structural invariance study, Dunbar, Theron and Spangenberg (2011) demonstrated that the PI measurement model successfully cross-validated across two independent samples from the same population, and thus may be considered measurement invariant. A non-hierarchical taxonomy of structural invariance is proposed that distinguishes betwe...
