Assignment: Chapter 17 Case Study: Effect of Stress on Performance
Case Study: A company conducted a survey to identify the effect of stress on performance. Three hundred candidates were selected. Participants were of the age group 30–45, and of both genders. The nature of work varied from managerial to administrative to operative to sales. Work timings were from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.; however, some roles would require duties outside of the office. Based on the designation, salaries varied as well from a range of USD 15,000 to 50,000 per annum.
Identify from the above narrative the data that can be converted to numerals and codes for analysis.
What would be the most ideal form of analysis—Univariate, Bivariate, or Multivariate? Justify.
Identify variables that can be assessed using the levels of measurement.
