Abstract

Four methods of measuring the relative importance of four belief constructs on the group support system (GSS) adoption decision were evaluated for convergent validity. The methods used were: (1) Likert scaled measures, (2) conjoint measurement, (3) direct ratings of importance, and (4) a paired comparison approach. The first method was further examined under three possible approaches: (1) traditional multiple regression, (2) molar analysis, and (3) molecular analysis. Results show partial convergence among the last three methods
