The SPSS output above is a bivariate correlation between ethical work environment (EWE) and employee work motivation. Please answer the following questions with reference to this output.
- Is there a statistically significant relationship between ethical work environment and work motivation? Why or why not? Justify your reasoning.
- If a significant relationship exists, interpret the correlation. What is the direction of the relationship, and what does it mean? What is the strength of the relationship?
- How do you get the for the relationship between work motivation and ethical work environment? Compute the
- Interpret .
From the SPSS output, the correlation coefficient value between the ethical work environment (EWE) and employee work motivation is 0.380 with the p-value 0.000.
- Is there a statistically significant relationship between the ethical work environment and work motivation? Why or why not? Justify your reasoning.
Ans: Yes, there is a statistically significant relationship between the ethical work environment and work motivation because the p-value for the test is 0.000 and less than 0.01 level of significance.
- If a significant relationship exists, interpret the correlation. What is the direction of the relationship, and what does it mean? What is the strength of the relationship?
Ans: The direction of the relationship is positive and it means that increase the value of the ethical work environment (EWE), increases the corresponding value of employee work motivation and vice-versa. The strength of this correlation coefficient is a weak relationship (0.3<r<0.5)
- How do you get them for the relationship between work motivation and an ethical work environment? Compute the
Ans: Let work motivation and ethical work environment be represented by x and y respectively, the correlation coefficient (r) value is
- Interpret .
Ans: An increase the value of the ethical work environment (EWE), increases the corresponding value of employee work motivation and vice-versa.
