Abstract

This study investigates the utility of a statistical procedure to evaluate the measurement equivalence of a translation of the Revised Job Descriptive Index, a job satisfaction inventory. An item analysis method based on item response theory is used to detect differential item functioning in the translation 0 Results of an IRT analysis procedure identified 30 out of 90 items as significantly biased. Importance of a proper scale linking procedure in this IRT procedure is emphasized. The implications of using an IRT analysis in examining the fidelity of translated psychological measurement instruments are discussed.
