Table 1
Results for the three needs, including means, standard deviations for self-ratings and perceiver-ratings, and consensus, self-other agreement and assumed similarity (N = 168 employees in 42 teams).
| Need for Achievement | |
| Self-ratings | M = 3.61a, SD = .41 |
| Perceiver-rating | M = 3.79a, SD = .65 |
| Consensusb | s2 = .08* (.59) |
| Self-other agreement | r = .49* |
| Assumed similarity | r = .62* |
| Need for Power | |
| Self-ratings | M = 3.44, SD = .56 |
| Perceiver-ratings | M = 3.35, SD = .34 |
| Consensusb | s2 = .06* (.67) |
| Self-other agreement | r = 1.30**c |
| Assumed similarity | r = .03 |
| Need for Affiliation | |
| Self-ratings | M = 3.84, SD = .36 |
| Perceiver-ratings | M = 3.69, SD = .45 |
| Consensusb | s2 = .07* (.60) |
| Self-other agreement | r = .08 |
| Assumed similarity | r = .00 |
[i] Note: *p < .05, **p < .01; a Significant difference between self-ratings and perceiver ratings (on a five-point Likert scale from 1 to 5) on the Need for Achievement (p = 0.05); b Consensus is measured as a proportion of variance, which can be viewed as a squared correlation (Kenny, 1994, p. 56); c The design of the SRM allows for correlations larger than 1.0, which should be interpreted as r = 1.0 (Kenny, 2007). Reliability estimates for the variance estimates which represent consensus are in brackets. These values are values which are typically found in SRM studies (personal correspondence with David Kenny, 23 December 2014).
