%0 Journal Article %T An Evaluation of Common Method Variance-Bias in Psychology | Karimi | International Journal of Psychological Studies | CCSE %A Denny Meyer %A Leila Karimi %J Home | International Journal of Psychological Studies | CCSE %D 2019 %R 10.5539/ijps.v11n3p83 %X This study demonstrated a novel procedure for assessing the significance of common method bias (CMB) using SEM. It appears that CMB has a marked effect on the reliability of the measurement models. A new procedure using covariate-based reliability was proposed for assessing the effects of CMB on the reliability of a model. Further SEM analysis using marker variable procedure supports the presence of CMB in this study. This seems to be an interesting area to be explored in further research %U http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ijps/article/view/0/40581
