Because all data were collected via survey, common method variance could have inflated the correlations (Podsakoff, Mackenzie, Lee, and Podsakoff, 2003). The pattern of correlations in two separate samples, however, mitigates against our results being solely the consequence of method bias. In addition, Spector (1987, 2006) has strongly argued that common, systematic method variance is not as problematic as originally imagined in work attitude research.
