An Industrial Organizational psychologist is interested in examining the relative effectiveness of three leadership styles on worker productivity. A sample of N = 15 assembly line workers is obtained. These individuals are randomly assignment to each of the three leadership conditions: Authoritarian, Democratic, and Delegative. The number of units workers produced in a 10-hour shift is recorded. The data are as follows:

ANOVA

Productivity

Multiple Comparisons

Productivity

Tukey HSD

*The mean difference is significant at the 0.05 level.

a. Why is the one-way ANOVA, rather than the independent samples t test, appropriate for this study?

b. Study the table and comment on whether the means for the three leadership styles differ significantly. In other words, does leadership style influence worker productivity? Explain.

c. In terms of these data, discuss why it is appropriate to conduct post hoc tests after the initial analysis of variance? Under what circumstances would it be inappropriate to conduct post hoc tests after performing a one-way ANOVA?

d. Discuss what these post hoc tests tell you that you could not determine from the initial analysis of variance. e. Using the information in the tables above, write an APA style results section.

This week, in lieu of your essay, I would like you to prepare me a memorandum as-if you were a National Security Staff Subject-Matter Expertise. Specifically, a staffer on the cyberspace team within the NSS. I would like you to draft this memo to me - as if I'm the National Security Advisor to the President, and you are providing me guidance on areas within the National Security Strategy where we may have "missed the mark."

In your memorandum, I would like you to discuss what areas in te National Security Strategy are lacking, are accurately, focused, and/or discuss what changes you would make to the areas concerning cyberspace, cyber-terrorism, etc.

We are only five-months past the publishing of this strategy, but I would like you to critique the focus and content, assess and evaluate by levying outside sources, and provide senior-level guidance and recommendations.
