@article { , title = {Dispositional resistance to change: Measurement equivalence and the link to personal values across 17 nations}, abstract = {The concept of dispositional resistance to change has been introduced in a series of exploratory and confirmatory analyses through which the validity of the Resistance to Change (RTC) Scale has been established (S. Oreg, 2003). However, the vast majority of participants with whom the scale was validated were from the United States. The purpose of the present work was to examine the meaningfulness of the construct and the validity of the scale across nations. Measurement equivalence analyses of data from 17 countries, representing 13 languages and 4 continents, confirmed the cross-national validity of the scale. Equivalent patterns of relationships between personal values and RTC across samples extend the nomological net of the construct and provide further evidence that dispositional resistance to change holds equivalent meanings across nations.}, doi = {10.1037/0021-9010.93.4.935}, eissn = {0021-9010}, issn = {0021-9010}, issue = {4}, journal = {Journal Of Applied Psychology}, pages = {935-944}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {American Psychological Association}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/469687}, volume = {93}, keyword = {Business and Logistics, Applied Psychology}, year = {2008}, author = {H?eb?kov, Martina and Korda?ov, Jana and Mla?i?, Boris and Gonzalez, Luis and Hrebickova, Martina and Kordacova, Jana and Saksvik, Per Oystein and González, Luis and Hřebíčková, Martina and Kordačová, Jana and Mla?i?, Boris and Feri?, Ivana and Feric, Ivana and Topi?, Marina Kotrla and van Dam, Karen and Bozionelos, Nikos and Arciniega, Luis and Armenakis, Achilles and Barkauskiene, Rasa and Bayazit, Mahmut and Fujimoto, Yuka and Han, Jian and Hetland, Hilde and Mlacic, Boris and Jimmieson, Nerina and Mitsuhashi, Hitoshi and Ohly, Sandra and Oreg, Shaul and Saksvik, Ingvild and Topic, Marina Kotrla and Saksvik, Per Øystein and Vakola, Maria} }
