Imagine you have been asked to enhance workplace happiness and engagement at your company. You have conducted a survey and gathered data on the gender, age, relationship with direct supervisor, telecommute schedule, and relationship with co-workers, along with the ratings for workplace happiness and workplace engagement for 50 individuals in your department. You must determine what variables affect workplace happiness and engagement. The first step is to run descriptive statistics on each variable to learn more about the data you have collected.

 

Calculate descriptive statistics for the following variables in the provided Microsoft® Excel® dataset:

Gender
Age
Relationship with direct supervisor
Telecommute schedule
Relationship with co-workers
Workplace happiness rating
Workplace engagement rating

Write a 125- to 175-word summary of your interpretation of the descriptive results for each variable. Copy and paste the Microsoft® Excel® output below your summary.

Note: Frequency tables are best used for nominal and ordinal variables. Other descriptive information (e.g., means and standard deviations) are best used with interval and ratio data.

A commonly used inventory for depression is the Beck Depression Inventory. This 21-item inventory has information on reliability and validity that states a 0.77 correlation rating was calculated when compared with inventory and psychiatric ratings. The inventory has reported a coefficient alpha rating of .92 for outpatients and .93 for college student samples. The Beck positively correlated with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (r = 0.71). It also had a one-week test-retest reliability of r = 0.93 and an internal consistency α=.91. Considering all that, would you be comfortable using the Beck in a research project? Explain what information you used to determine that the Beck provides data that you can rely on.
