Analysing multisource feedback with multilevel structural equation models: Pitfalls and recommendations from a simulation study

When multisource feedback instruments, for example, 360‐degree feedback tools, are validated, multilevel structural equation models are the method of choice to quantify the amount of reliability as well as convergent and discriminant validity. A non‐standard multilevel structural equation model that incorporates self‐ratings (level‐2 variables) and others’ ratings from different additional perspectives (level‐1 variables), for example, peers and...
