Accountants' Organizational–Professional Conflict: A Meta-Analysis

Research on accountants' organizational-professional conflict (OPC) has increased in the last decade. In this study, meta-analyses were used to summarize the relationships between accountants' OPC and five work environment variables. In one metaanalysis, the variance due to sampling error accounted for all of the variance between the sample correlations that had been corrected for measurement error, and hence the population correlation coefficient could be observed. In the remaining four meta-analyses, a large proportion of the variance between the corrected sample correlations was not attributable to the sampling error variance. In those cases, it was not possible to carry out full moderator analyses to identify population correlation coefficients.
