Usually the effect does not consist of a rigid shift and in fact, mBJ does not seem that good for effective masses as shwon in these articles:

Dear Tran, Thank you for your comment. I am interested in extracting kp parameters (effective masses, ...) from the calculated band structure. Do you believe that the bands can be significantly deformed in theses results or the main effect should be a rigid displacement of the bands ?

After that, I got the band structure using LSDA and mBJ (P-semiconductor parameters : A=0.267, B=0.656 and e=1). I noticed that mBJ significantly improves the band gap, but the SO splitting goes down from 12meV (LSDA) to 3 meV (mBJ). The experimental value is about 16 meV. Well, I would like to know if there is some way to keep both quantities well described.
