To date, scholars have focused a considerable amount of effort on developing valid measures of leader-member exchange (LMX). Although useful, it is unclear whether this proliferation in measurement is warranted. Specifically, although perhaps meaningful conceptual distinctions are made when developing new LMX measures, it is unclear whether these measures differ sufficiently from previously established measures. This manuscript explores this possibility. We begin by providing a brief review of the current state of LMX measurement, and then proceed by describing three different studies through which this research question is explored. Results suggest that virtually all measures of LMX included in this investigation are indicators of the same underlying second-order factor, i.e., they are all measuring the same construct.
迄今为止，学者们在开发有效的领导成员交换（LMX）测量方法上投入了大量精力。尽管这些方法很有用，但测量方法的这种大量增加是否合理尚不清楚。具体而言，虽然在开发新的LMX测量方法时可能做出了有意义的概念区分，但尚不清楚这些测量方法与先前已确立的测量方法是否有足够的差异。本论文探讨了这种可能性。我们首先简要回顾一下LMX测量的现状，然后描述三项不同的研究，通过这些研究来探讨这个研究问题。结果表明，本调查中几乎所有的LMX测量方法都是同一个潜在二阶因子的指标，也就是说，它们都在测量同一个构念。
