Abstract

This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the scale which measures collective organizational engagement. Multilevel analysis was used to find cross-level invariance and composite reliability of the scale, and discriminant validity was established by comparing collective organizational engagement to individual job engagement. Participants for the study were 297 employees working in 34 Indian manufacturing organizations (average cluster size = 8.73). Nine referent-shift items were used to measure the dimensions of physical, cognitive, and emotional collective organizational engagement. Multilevel confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using Mplus V. 8.7. It was found from the results that the theoretical model of collective organizational engagement at the employee and organizational levels was invariant and reliable. Discriminant validity also showed that the referent-shift items of the scale are distinct from the individual job engagement scale. This study presents a reliable and valid multilevel, multi-dimensional tool to measure collective organizational engagement. The study implied that the collective organizational engagement scale is a preferable tool to measure firm-level engagement and that it is vital to account for the non-independence of nested data to obtain robust results.
