Dennis A. Gioia, Kevin G. Corley, Aimee L. Hamilton · 24 Jul 2012

Answers to 20 Questions About Interrater Reliability and Interrater Agreement

James M. LeBreton, Jenell L. Senter · 20 Aug 2007

This popularity is, at least in part, because of the increased role of multilevel modeling techniques (e.g., hierarchical linear modeling and multilevel structural equation modeling) in organizational research. IRR and IRA indices are often used to…
