bh1996: Data from Bliese and Halverson (1996)

Description

This dataset contains the complete data used in Bliese and Halverson (1996). The dataset contains 4 variables. These variables are Cohesion (COHES), Leadership Climate (LEAD), Well-Being (WBEING) and Work Hours (HRS). Each of these variables has two variants -- a group mean version that replicates each group mean for every individual, and a within-group version where the group mean is subtracted from each individual response. The group mean version is designated with a G. (e.g., G.HRS), and the within-group version is designated with a W. (e.g., W.HRS).
