Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analysis the measurement invariance of a job satisfaction (Judge, Bono and Locke, 2000) and an organizational commitment (Allen and Meyer, 1990) scale between the Mexican and the U.S. cultures. Data were collected by means of a self-administered survey applied to a non-probabilistic sample of MBA students in both nations (Mexico = 287, United States = 273). The results indicated that the scales under analysis were not invariant between the cultures. An implication of this finding is that cross-cultural studies of job satisfaction and organizational commitment might report invalid results concerning the direct comparison of the concepts´ levels. In order to avoid this, it is recommended to take some precautions in the preparation and analysis of data.
