The Love of Money and Pay Level Satisfaction: Measurement and Functional Equivalence in 29 Geopolitical Entities around the World
2006
Demonstrating the equivalence of constructs is a key requirement for cross-cultural empirical research. The major purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how to assess measurement and functional equivalence or invariance using the 9-item, 3-factor Love of Money Scale (LOMS, a second-order factor model) and the 4-item, 1-factor Pay Level Satisfaction Scale (PLSS, a first-order factor model) across 29 samples in six continents (N = 5973). In step 1, we tested the configural, metric and scalar invariance of the LOMS and 17 samples achieved measurement invariance. In step 2, we applied the same procedures to the PLSS and nine samples achieved measurement invariance. Five samples (Brazil, China,…
How Chinese Auditors' Relativistic Ethical Orientations Influence Their Love of Money
2013
Love of Money (LMOS) theory is well developed and widely used in studying people’s beliefs about money (Luna-Arocas & Tang 2004). This study examines the views of 612 Chinese auditors and establishes that the ideological positions adopted influence how they regard money and that these positions are related to underlying cultural norms. Forsyth’s (1980) EPQ is used to establish a viable model, which establishes that relativism strongly influences Chinese auditors” attitudes towards money and has important implications in terms of the impact on the accounting profession in that rapidly growing nation. peerReviewed
