7. Comment on the descriptive statistics (i.e., means, standard deviations) and internal consistency reliabilities in the table below adapted from Erdogan and Bauer (2009) and summarize the correlation results, taking into account the strength, direction, and statistical significance of the bivariate relationships. (6 points)

Predictors (independent variables): Perceived over-qualification; empowerment Controls (independent variables): Age; tenure Dependent variables: Job satisfaction

Table 1

Descriptive Statistics, Correlations, and Scale Reliabilities

		Alpha	Mean	SD	1	2	3	4
1	Age	-	21.90	2.47
2	Tenure	-	1.13	.97	.39**
3	Over-qualification	.72	4.35	1.35	.22**	-.02
4	Empowerment	.80	5.42	0.72	.07	.28**	.03
5	Job satisfaction	.81	5.80	0.86	-.11	.01	-.19*	.43**

Note: N=244. Age and tenure were measured in years. Perceptions of over-qualification, empowerment, and job satisfaction were measured on a 7-point Likert-type scale. *p < .05. **p < .01.
