What will be an ideal response?
Method variance is the variance observed in a performance measure that is not relevant to the behaviors assessed, but instead is due to the method of measurement used (Brannick, Chan, Conway, Lance, & Spector, 2010; Conway, 2002). For example, Conway (1998) reanalyzed supervisor, peer, and self-ratings for three performance dimensions (i.e., altruism-local, conscientiousness, and altruism-distant) and found that the proportion of method variance for peers was .38, whereas the proportion of method variance for self-ratings was .22. This finding suggests that relationships among various performance dimensions, as rated by peers, can be inflated substantially due to common method variance (Conway, 1998).
