Handling the reflective-formative measurement conundrum: A practical illustration based on sustainable employability

Constructs capturing health or functioning can have reflective and/or formative measurement models. Although a construct ’s measurement model has extensive implications on the construction, validation and use of a measurement instrument, measurement models are frequently wrongly or not explicitly specified. As this is likely due to a lack of guidelines, this study uses sustainable employability as an example to demo nstrate a) the applicability of an adapted checklist for establishing a construct’s measurement model; and b) the use of structural equation modelling to handle formative constructs.
