This week, you complete the second part of the Methods Section for your Final Project. This Methods Section will serve as a road map for measuring job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and job involvement. In your role as a consultant for Walden Sports, it is important to select appropriate variables and items to assess and to understand the psychometric properties of the instrument you select to measure those variables.

· Submit Part 2 of your Methods section.

· From the Job Attitudes Survey Codebook document located in this week’s Learning Resources, select three variables that you think will best predict job attitudes at Walden Sports.

Note: The document contains variables that have not been covered in this course, but research has shown that they predict job attitudes.

· Explain why you selected the variables you did and provide evidence showing the relationships between these variables and job attitudes (i.e., justify your selections).

· Select an instrument to measure each of the three variables you selected.

· Explain why the instrument you selected is appropriate for measuring the antecedent variables you selected.

· Provide an example item from the scale you selected and describe the scale anchors used to score the instrument.

· Describe the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of the instrument.

Submit your Assignment by Day 7.
