On the aggregation of individual withdrawal behaviors into larger multi-item constructs

Abstract

This paper reviews the empirical work of Hanisch and Hulin (1990, 1991) and Roznowski and Hanisch, 1990) which collectively propose two specific multi-behavior constructs: work withdrawal and job withdrawal. Subsequent research suggests that the aggregation specified by Hanisch and Hulin (1990, 1991) and Roznowski and Hanisch (1990) may be premature. However, the basic idea of combining multi-item behaviors into a larger construct to enhance work attitude–work behavior relationships (Fisher, 1980) is appealing. This paper attempts to constructively build upon the useful empirical work of Hanisch and Hulin (1990, 1991) and Roznowski and Hanisch (1990) by offering suggestions for further development and testing of multi-item work and job withdrawal behavior constructs. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
