You will take part in several data analysis assignments in which you will develop a report using tables and figures from the IBM SPSS^® output file of your results. Using the resources and readings provided, you will interpret these results and test the hypotheses and writeup these interpretations.

Instructions

·        Copy and paste all tables and figures into a Word document and format the results in APA current edition. 

·        Interpret your results.

·        Final report should be formatted using APA current edition, and in a Word document.

·        4-5 double-spaced pages of content in length (not counting the title page or references).

This assignment has two parts and uses the 2018 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (Federal Employee Survey 2018. sav), which you used in a previous module. Load the data set into SPSS.

RQ 6: Is there a significant difference in the agreement as to whether the federal agency supervisor provides the employee with opportunities to demonstrate his or her leadership skills (Q43) based on the sex of the employee (DSEX)?

·        H₀6: There is no statistically significant difference in the agreement as to whether the federal agency supervisor provides the employee with opportunities to demonstrate his or her leadership skills (Q43) based on the sex of the employee (DSEX).

·        H_a6: There is a statistically significant difference in the agreement as to whether the federal agency supervisor provides the employee with opportunities to demonstrate his or her leadership skills (Q43) based on the sex of the employee (DSEX).

1.      Now, perform a nonparametric Mann Whitney U test with:

o   sex (DSEX) as your independent variable groups (male=1 and female=2) and;

o   Q43 as your dependent variable.

2.      Use Cronk and provided resources to interpret the results of the Mann Whitney U test.    

3.      Click on Analyze, Nonparametric Tests, Independent Samples. 

4.      Click on use Compare Medians.  This is because the dependent variable Q43 is ordinal and not normally distributed. 

5.      Move Q43 to test Fields box and MSEX to Groups box. 

6.      Then, Click on Run arrow. 

7.      The Hypothesis Summary appears.  Double click on it and you get the graph and table as well on auxiliary view.

RQ 7: Is there a significant difference in the agreement as to whether the federal agency supervisor provides the employee with opportunities to demonstrate his or her leadership skills (Q43) based on the education level of the employee (DEDUC)?

·        H₀7: There is no statistically significant difference in the agreement as to whether the federal agency supervisor provides the employee with opportunities to demonstrate his or her leadership skills (Q43) based on the education level of the employee (DEDUC).

·        H_a7: There is a statistically significant difference in the agreement as to whether the federal agency supervisor provides the employee with opportunities to demonstrate his or her leadership skills (Q43) based on the education level of the employee (DEDUC).

1.      Now, perform a nonparametric Kruskal Wallis H test with:

o   education level of the employee (DEDUC) as your independent variable groups (Less than Bachelor’s=1, Bachelor’s=2, and Beyond Bachelor’s=3) and;

o   Q43 as your dependent variable. 

2.      Use Cronk and provided resources to interpret the results of the Kruskal Wallis H test.  

3.      Click on Analyze, Nonparametric Tests, Independent Samples. 

4.      Click on use Compare Medians.  This is because the dependent variable Q43 is ordinal and not normally distributed. 

5.      Move Q43 to test Fields box and MSEX to Groups box. 

6.      Select Settings tab. 

7.      In the Settings tab, check Kruskal Wallis test. 

8.      Then, click on the Run arrow.

9.      The Hypothesis Summary appears.  Double click on it and you get the graph and table as well on auxiliary view.
