Reverse Coding
Is used to remove acquiesce Bias. Reverse coding is achieved in an inventory when the normal flow of the spirit of the item is
reversed.
For eg:
In an inventory comprising of 5 items if 4 items are extolling the virtues of the respondent and one item is criticizing the item is
reverse coded.
t-TEST: Conducted for difference between 2 groups. For 3 or more we use annova
eg: M Vs F: t-Test
If 1st Sig > 0.05 we can
assume equal variances.
(We reject Null hypothesis).
Levene’s Test: No difference
b/w variance:: We assume
equal variance
There is a difference in
data sets: (1-0.514 =
0.49)::49%<95% which
implies null hypothesis
is void. Therefore we
can say that there is a
difference b/w m-f as
far as empowerment is
concerned.
Select Step variable
Select Grouping variable
Go for second table in op sheet
Check for sig of levenes test : IF sig>0.05 ::Accept first row ::equal variances assumed
Else Equal variances not assumed
In either case go for sign-2 table 4 whichever row selected if value > 0.05 then there is a difference in perception about
the test variable by the grouping variable.
For t-Test with: Test Variable : Continuous Variable
Grouping Variable : Categorical variable
Note: Catagorical variable has no decimal points.
Annova:
If we try and compare b-w 3 or more categorical variable based on their perception then (Continuous variables) then we go for
Annova (one way annova)
1. Go to analyse
2. Mean-> one way annova
3. Dependant list : Continuous Variable Factor : LOM (level of management)
4. Options -> Discriptive
(1-0.126 =87%) => as it is <95%
therefore is significant difference.
Regression: When we go for multivariate stats we must go for continuous variables
Correlation
Regression
Simple Linear Multiple Linear Structural Modeling
Used for Causal problems.
Eg. Organizational Culture-> is caused by unified values, beliefs etc…
1. Analyze
2. Regression
3. Linear regression
4. Dependant :
5. Independent :
Data used here is incorrect…Kindly get the data from Ruchira
1. Model Summary: Adjusted R Square : Is the amount of
variation caused in the dependent var coz of
independent variables. (Explained -> Unexplained)
involvement can explain 31% of variation in
performance.
2. Coefficients: sig has to be <= 0.05 if so then causal
relation between the two
Bivariate Analysis :
1. Analyze
2. Correlate -> Bivariate
Here we use Organizational Culture is dependent on HR Practices
One Tailed Test/Two Tailed Test:
One Tailed : Only on achievement. When one aspect can tell abt other
Two TAILED: Where both aspects are known
Step1: Check Sig Value
Step 2: See Adjusted R
Square
Mutivariable Regression
Stepwise: Will intro
variable one at a time
Forward: Start from
Least to most influential
Variable
K-S Test: Test weather data is normal or not.
Analyze
Non-parametric Test
K-S Test
KS Data is normal
Cross Tabs: 2X2 data eg. Johari Window
Analyze
