Question.4864 - SPSS Final Project Directions: For the final SPSS/Excel assignment, you will be conducting analysis on a given dataset. The below requirements must be completed in a Microsoft Word document and emailed to me at aaron.bartula@untdallas.edu no later than 11:59pm on the scheduled due date (please see syllabus for due date). In the Modules tab, scroll down to the section titled Data Sets. Using the dataset entitled "staffsurvey", complete the following. Note, if you are using SPSS you will select the file staffsurvey.sav; if you are using Microsoft Excel you will use the datafile staffsurvey_data.xls. Procedure: You are a researcher in a large Fortune 500 HR department. You have conducted an employee survey. Your goal is three-fold (i.e., parts 1, 2 and 3 below): Part 1: Determine employees’ views of level of importance for various corporate components. • Develop a scale using the variables: “q1imp, q2imp, q3imp, q4imp, q5imp, q6imp, q7imp, q8imp, q9imp, q10imp”. Title the scale it “Important Factors”. • Report the Cronbach’s Alpha value in the Word document.. • Report whether the scale deemed reliable in the Word document. • Calculate in the individual means for all above variables (q1imp-q10imp). NOTE: delete all Null/Missing information from the variables and leave blank prior to calculating the means. • Based on the means, report which variable/factor your employees view as the single most important in the Word document. o Hint: the highest value signifies the most important. • Create a new variable in the dataset entitled “qimpTOT”. Add it to the dataset directly after the variable “qimp10”. This variable should be a summation of the above 10 variables (i.e., qimp1-qimp10). o Hint, each response for qimpTOT should be the individual respondent’s q1imp + qimp2 +….qimp10 total score. SPSS Final Project Part 2: Determine if views of importance are correlated to years of service with the organization. • Using the newly created variable “qimpTOT” and “service”, run a scatterplot. • Copy the scatterplot into the Word document. • Using the newly created variable “qimpTOT” and “service”, run a test of correlation • Report the correlation coefficient in terms of strength and directionality in the Word document. • Report whether the correlation coefficient is statistically significant in the Word document. • Interpret the results of the correlation test in the Word document. Part 3: Determine which variables most strongly impact the dependent variable “qimpTOT” Part 3A: Run a Standard Multiple Regression Model o Using the independent variables “age”, “service” and “employstatus”, run a standard multiple regression in either SPSS or Excel with the above dependent variable (qimpTOT). o Copy and paste the results into a Word document. Part 3B: Determine Model Fit o Looking at the correlation table, determine if any variables should be excluded due to high correlation factors. Make sure the table is copy and pasted into the Word document and your interpretation. o Looking at the VIF coefficient, determine if collinearity is an issue with the model. Report the VIF coefficient and your interpretation in the Word document. o Report the R ² value and interpret the results in the Word document. Part 3C: Testing for Significance o Evaluate each independent variable’s coefficient and determine which are statically significant. o Interpret the results for each independent variable.
